Despite New Year’s resolutions to avoid irritating
houseguests and nerve-wracking cases, California P.I.
Savannah Reid finds herself playing host to her assistant’s
cranky cousin—in town for an unwanted makeover at a local
spa. But when the spa’s renowned plastic surgeon goes
missing, murder’s on the menu…
Voluptuous and proud of it, Savannah can’t understand why
any woman would diet in pursuit of beauty, never mind go
under the knife. She likes herself just fine the way she
is. Too bad her houseguest isn’t as content. Abigail is
livid that her cousin, Tammy, won her an extreme makeover
at Emerge, San Carmelita’s new luxury spa.
There’s barely time to worry about Abigail when one of
Emerge’s owners, renowned plastic surgeon Suzette DuBois,
goes missing. As she broadens her search, Savannah begins
to realize that some of the employees at this temple of
perfection harbor serious inner flaws. And when one of the
suspects turns up dead, Savannah’s had enough. She’d love
nothing more than to wrap up this case and make friends
with a nice strawberry margarita. But first, she’ll have to
stitch up a killer who cuts to the bone…
