Summary: exciting journalistic investigative tale
Review: Early Sunday morning in Manhattan, Gloss Magazine editor Cat Jones frantically calls her true-crime writer Bailey Weggins to drop all plans including sleeping with her boyfriend to get over to her town house because something is wrong with the nanny. Cat says that Heidi does not respond to her knocks on her apartment. Bailey tries to convince Cat that the woman is probably sleeping with some guy, but when Cat calls everyone leaps. Bailey grabs a cab and goes north to investigate where she finds a dead nanny.Apparently, someone placed poison in a box of Godiva chocolates that Heidi had taken from a party hosted by Cat. The editor wonders if Heidi was the intended victim? She insists that her true crime "reporter" investigate. Unable to persuade Cat to let the police do their job, Bailey begins making inquiries, but soon finds clues taking her from New York to the surrounding states. IF LOOKS COULD KILL is an exciting journalistic investigative tale that is at its best when Cat is off stage. Bailey is fabulous as she makes the rounds trying to balance her personal life, her regular assignments (no relief), and her new task. Cat might have the ability to make the city's superheavyweights wear rubber underwear, but her whole reaction to the Heidi caper seems out of character as she acts more like a damsel in distress because she saw a mouse. Still the trip through the media circus from within, a strong who-done-it with plenty of red herrings, and a great "shoe slut" makes Kate White's mystery quite entertaining. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Great book that will keep you gussing.
Review: Bailey Weggin is your typical thirty something woman who is working for a magazine. But Bailey doesn't write your typical fluffy chick articles. She writes about poltigeists and spirts and murders and that type of stuff. But when something happen with Cat Jone's nanny Bailey finds herself in a whole new world. Bailey starts out by helping Cat figure out how and why someone would want to hurt her nanny Heidi. Bailey looks around and talks to a lot people and finds that possibly the Heidi wasn't the target that person wanted to get. But with the more looking she does the more she uncovers about other people and what had happen. This book keeps you wondering who in the world would want to harm either Cat Jones or Heidi and keeps you guessing till the last few pages. Bailey finds herself getting deeper and deeper in the case and meeting new people whom she has to wonder if possibly they were the ones who might have killed Heidi. This is strong first book from this author. I hope she contiues to write more.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Book did not get interesting until about page 300. Bailey's life wasn't interesting enough to keep the story going. For the most part, Bailey exhibited common sense, but to me there was one glaring (and for me, annoying) idea about the murderer that she ignored. I didn't know who the murderer would be, but I don't think Kate White provided enough clues for a person to definitely know either. In other words, great mystery writers can leave you in the dark and then once you know who did it, you want to slap your head and state how did I miss it? White didn't do that.
The book back cover talks about a romance but really there isn't much of one. Bailey states that she wants a relationship when she's with a creep and then she meets a nice guy and almost chases him away with her seeming noninterest. Slightly annoying but not as bad as it could have been. Though the choices she makes romance-wise don't seem to match up with the wise woman otherwise. By the way, Bailey hooks up a guy for casual sex but it is not described graphically.
I was able to keep reading it, because I was on vacation and didn't have anything else around. But otherwise, I could have put it down after the first chapter, and I won't be reading another book by Kate White.
