One of the savviest single urbanites ever to take up sleuthing and still
look great, Bailey Weggins made her smashing debut in Kate White's If
Looks Could Kill, a dishy and delectable New York Times bestseller and
the first "Reading with Ripa" Book Club selection. Now the Gloss
magazine true crime writer returns in a story of high style and low
murder that goes behind the salons and saunas of a ritzy country spa to
uncover...
A BODY TO DIE FOR
After her last adventure, Bailey Weggins is one tired reporter in need
of R & R. So when an old family friend invites her for a free weekend at
the Cedar Inn in rural Massachusetts, she jumps at the chance to leave
Manhattan for some major pampering.
At the elegant mid-nineteenth-century hideaway, with its Asian-inspired
spa, Bailey is soon luxuriating to the hypnotic sound of water spilling
over stones and the soothing scent of green-tea candles. Yet mayhem is
mere steps away, as Bailey discovers when she literally stumbles across
a corpse wrapped mummy-style in a treatment room.
Suddenly, her time-out is transformed into a full-tilt murder
investigation. Bailey hadn't expected to meet anyone other than
socialites slathering their cellulite with shea butter, but now she's
dealing with a list of suspects dirtier than a mud bath: a spurned
lover, a shady husband, and a group of employees who seem to be hiding
something. And against her better judgment, she can't seem to keep her
own hands off the sexy homicide detective assigned to the case.
Desperate to help her mother's friend, the owner of the spa, Bailey will
find herself chasing clues across state lines just as another death
sweeps her into the sights of a vicious killer. And this time, the body
in the mud wrap could be her own.
