Book Description:
The promise of discretion and pampering-and a long-overdue reconciliation with her mother-draws Caroline Blessing, the young wife of a newly-elected Congressman, to the fancy Phoenix Spa. But after her first night in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Caroline wakes to find the rich and famous guests in turmoil and under suspicion: the spa's flamboyant and ambitious owner has been murdered. As the secrets come out-and the body count rises, can Caroline keep herself from becoming the next victim?

Linda A. (
Sharron A. (This mystery novel, written by 13 different women (one chapter each) was unusual. While the mystery plot was so-so, the fun came from sampling different writers' work, and seeing how each advanced the plot and set up a new challenge for those to follow. Probably the hardest chapter to write (and also the hardest to read) was the last one, which had to tie up all the loose ends and bring resolution to some pretty far-flung plot elements.
The surprising thing about this book is that although I'm a fan of most of the writers, I wouldn't have been able to recognize any chapter as having been written by a particular author. They're all talented in different ways, and yet they wrote a very homogenized book.
Colleen H. (Most of my favorite authors have written a chapter in this book (Nevada Barr, JD Robb, Diana Gabaldon, Faye Kellerman to name a few).
It is interesting to see how they all collaborated on one novel and managed to pull it off into a cohesive cozy mystery.
(A serial novel by great authors such as:
Diana Gabaldon, Lisa Scottoline, Nevada Barr, and many more.
Marilynn L. (This is a great, quick read. I love the fact that many of today's great female mystery/crime writers have cooperated on this serial novel with each adding their own special flair. Keeps you guessing right to the end as it probably did them while it was being written! This was a fun book to read.
Quick read. Interesting in that each chapter is written by a different author.
A chapter each from many of today's great mystery writers.
