Murder of a Botoxed Blonde
Denise Swanson
A health spa complete with tofu turkey and "Dress for
Sexcess" lectures is the last place school psychologist
Skye Denison wants to spend Thanksgiving. But when her
best friend Trixie Frayne convinces her to take a
complimentary weekend at the new Scumble River Spa, Skye
accepts her fate and prepares to be slathered, wrapped, and
roasted... Then an annoying quartet that includes both Skye’s mom and
her ex-boyfriend’s mother impulsively joins her for a girls-
only holiday and Skye wonders just how bad things can get.
She soon finds outwhen she’s confronted with
treatments
only a masochist would enjoy, a diet plan fit for a Barbie
doll, and a troublesome trespasser searching for a cache of
jewels supposedly hidden on the spa grounds seventy years
ago. Worst of all, a famous former model turns up dead in
the miracle mud bath. It looks like no one will be leaving
the spa until Skye can identify which of the eccentric
guests, pesky local protesters, or sneaky treasure hunters
is also a killer deserving of special treatment...in the
county jail.
