Mystery Woman Sleuth

Bailey Weggins lives in Manhattan, and is a 30 something true-crime journalist. She's working for a leading celebrity magazine called Buzz and seems to be settling in nicely. Her boyfriend, Beau Regan, couldn't be more gorgeous and she's got a great best friend, Jessie. Yes, life is pretty good.

Then, Beau needs to make a trip out west for the weekend and only tells Bailey at the last minute. Bailey is suspicious that he did that so that she wouldn't ask to accompany him and that has her a bit unsettled. It's mainly for this reason that Bailey accepts an invitation from Jessie to attend a house party at a music mogul's home for that same weekend. She gets even more interested in going when she finds out that supermodel Devon Barr will also be attending. Bailey decides that since she's on her own for the weekend that she may as well go with Jessie to the party.

At first, everything seems pretty exciting. The house is great and the people form an eclectic group of well-known faces. Eventually, the tension is palpable enough to be cut with a knife. It gets even more interesting when Bailey stumbles upon a crying Devon while on a walk in the surrounding woods. In a rather puzzling conversation, Devon states that she needs to get out of there because she's not safe. But then she backs off and claims everything is fine. During the second night, Devon is found in her room dead. It seems, at first, that she died from a heart attack brought on by an eating disorder. Things go from bad to worse when the group of people is stuck in the house during a blizzard. When the roads finally clear, the police appear with questions for everyone. Bailey is the only one that feels Devon's death may not have been an accident.

Back in Manhattan, Bailey is in charge of the story on Devon's death and Beau has also come back into town from his trip. Things are starting to return to normal as Bailey continues to delve into Devon's life. Then, suddenly, someone throws a huge monkey wrench into Bailey's life by threatening her job. On top of that, she has somehow made herself a target of whoever may have meant Devon harm.

True to form, Bailey pays no attention to what she's told by any authority figures. Instead, she continues to keep investigating and putting herself in danger. Will she find the answers before someone puts a stop to her investigation permanently?

Told with a mixture of suspense and humor, SO PRETTY IT HURTS delivers a first rate plot that will keep you guessing while also making it impossible to put this book down until you've read the final page. Bailey Weggins is a character that you'll adore and won't be able to get enough of. That's fine, too, because SO PRETTY IT HURTS is the 6th book in a series featuring Bailey Weggins. SO PRETTY IT HURTS is a great book to while away the hours on a rainy, snowy or any other kind of day.

SUMMARY

Bailey Weggins, the thirty-something, true crime journalist
for Buzz, a leading celebrity magazine, needs a break.
Plenty busy with her day job, her freelance work, and
trying
to get her first book noticed, she barely has time for her
recently exclusive boyfriend, Beau Regan, much less
herself.
When Beau goes out of town, Bailey accepts an invitation
with her friend Jesse to a music mogul's weekend house in
upstate New York.

But, the relaxing weekend getaway turns out to be more like
an Agatha Christie whodunit. A weird tension has infected
all the guestsβ€”a glamorous crowd of journalists and models,
including the famous, and famously thin, supermodel Devon
Barr. An impending snowstorm only adds to the tension. When
Devon’s cold, lifeless body is found in her bed, Bailey
immediately suspects foul play: she can’t shake the memory
of a fearful and angry Devon shivering in the woods outside
the house, whispering , β€œI have to get out here . . . It’s
not safe for me.”

When evidence goes missing from the crime scene, Bailey
once
again finds herself a moving targetβ€”running closer to the
truth and farther from safety.
