Kate White, 1950-

eBook - 2012

True-crime journalist and sassy amateur sleuth Bailey Weggins has scarcely begun her hard-earned weekend getaway when something comes up: a dead body, belonging to one of the world's most glamorous supermodels. Now Bailey's trapped at an upstate New York home amidst the glitterati-and any one of them could be a murderer. She's determined to find out who's responsible, but her investigation could provoke the killer into striking again... From Kate White, the New York Times bestselling author of Hush and the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, So Pretty It Hurts is an addictive addition to the Bailey Weggins mystery series, and the book that fans of If Looks Could Kill, Over Her Dead Body, and Lethally Blond have bee...n waiting for.

Review by Booklist Review

Bailey Weggins, true-crime reporter for the gossipy tabloid Buzz, continues to be in the right place at the right time. Invited to join her office BFF, Jessie Pendergrass, for a weekend at a record producer's country home, along with supermodel Devon Barr and her entourage, Bailey is at hand when Devon is found dead in bed. While the coroner detects signs of heart failure, presumably brought on by anorexia, Bailey suspects that someone hastened Devon's death, and a little snooping turns up multiple motives among the other weekend guests, who include Devon's agent, agency rep, assistant, and ex-boyfriend (with his current squeeze). Then someone gets Bailey pulled off the story with a bogus extortion charge and engineers threats on her life. Meanwhile, her relationship with current love interest, Beau Regan, hits a rocky spell, forcing her to face commitment issues. After two stand-alones from White, it's good to have Bailey back in her sixth outing (after Lethally Blond, 2007). She's a smart, sexy sleuth with a growing fan base.--Leber, Michele Copyright 2010 Booklist

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Cosmo editor-in-chief White's entertaining sixth Bailey Weggins mystery (after 2007's Lethally Blonde) finds whip-smart reporter Bailey working hard at the New York gossip rag Buzz while dating elusive documentary filmmaker Beau Regan. When Beau suddenly takes off for Arizona to work on a new film, Bailey accepts a weekend invitation to a record producer's upstate country house, where the demise of a celebrity guest soon causes consternation. Not satisfied that supermodel Devon Barr died of a drug overdose or committed suicide, Bailey embarks on a relentless quest to figure out who and what killed Devon in the prime of her career. But the more dark secrets Bailey uncovers, the more she has to watch her own back. While the prose can be more kitsch than clever in this fast-paced, insider look at the seedy underworld of fame, series fans and readers who love tabloid drama will be enthralled.
