I received a copy of Beauty to Die for by Kim Alexis and Mindy Starns Clark from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Juliette Taylor walked away from her career as a supermodel twenty-five years
ago. Now approaching fifty - an emotionally complex milestone -- she co-owns a
beauty supply company that makes skincare products for salons and spas. Her
niche is pampering Christian women who usually spend more time caring for others
than for themselves under the slogan: Isn't it time someone took care of YOU
for a change?When Juliette arrives at the Palm Grotto Spa to host a
spiritual retreat, she runs into an old modeling colleague, Raven, who had
always been disliked in the industry for many reasons. She isn't there for the
retreat; in fact, her presence at the spa is somewhat mysterious.Not long after
Raven makes a cryptic threat to Juliette, the unsympathetic back-then beauty is
found dead, poisoned by something in the green clay of a chai soy wrap. The
following morning, a banner for the retreat has been unceremoniously
altered:It's your turn to be nurtured, to be restored . . . to be
murdered.Suspicion is directed at Juliette who has history with Raven and
certainly knows how to use beauty products. But for murder?! Now she must find
the real killer before the police really take care of her.
I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end. It was a great mix of mystery and romance. There were several twists that I didn't expect or see coming. I'm looking forward th Kim's next book.
