Rating: Summary: Let Kate White Massage Your Life with a Bit of Murder Review: Who would kill someone and then take the time to wrap them up in mylar like a mummy? Thirty-three year old Bailey Weggins is a true crime writer. She is just recovering from a seemingly useless relationship with Jack, who stopped calling her without any explanation. When Bailey's friend, Danny, offers her a few days of luxurious relaxation at her Cedar Inn Spa, she jumps at the chance for some rest and relaxation. However, rest is not in the cards for Bailey. She barely arrives before she stumbles over a corpse wrapped in mylar and duct tape. The victim is Anna, an employee of the spa. Vacation turns into an amateur but persistent murder investigation. The suspects abound including her friend's husband, George, the dead woman's lover and several employees at the spa. As she searches for the killer, she meets Detective Beck. Though Bailey is on instant lusty, sizzle, the detective is rather cool toward her. Bailey is torn between her feelings for Jack and this new attraction to Beck. She's not getting a vacation in the relationship area either. The sizzle gets warmer as Bailey tracks down Anna's past looking for connections to the people on her suspect list. With no obvious clues, Bailey finds herself tracking down Anna's past. Will she find the connection that will explain the reason for Anna's murder? Kate White gently caresses the reader with the world of a luxurious spa, massages and body wraps, into this intriguing tale of a gruesome murder. The clues do not jump off the pages. They are somewhat hidden and require some real thinking. It makes for an interesting read right up to the last page.
