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?

Marge J. (Very interesting book. I loved the premise of it and the fact that I was created to help others. Not to mention, it was really a GOOD book!
"Thirteen award-winning female mystery and crime writers present a fun, fast-pace, and exciting serial whodunit in the tradition of Naked Came The Manatee. Edited my award-winning author Marcia Talley, Naked Came The Phoenix boasts an outrageous plot, a colorful cast of characters, and the talents of some of the most popular authors working today.
Former cellist Caroline Blessing has come to the exclusive Phoenix Spa in the Blue-Ridge Mountains of Virginia for some world-class pampering. But there's no time for rest and relaxation when, just before sunrise stretch class, the spa's owner is found face down in a mudbath. Before Caroline can comprehend the grisly find, one of the spa's guests is murdered--then another, and another. To make matters worse, Caroline catches her supposedly devoted husband in an affair. Panic builds and the press gathers at the gates as nasty secrets are revealed, family ties unravel, and blackmail rears its ugly head. But nothing can prepare Caroline for the stupefying truth behind the gruesome string of killings..."
This is a real page turner. I could not put it down. This is a murder mystery of epic proportions written by 13 female authors, including Nevada Barr, J.D. Robb, Faye Kellerman, Laurie King, and others! Each author wrote one chapter. It was miraculous how well it all flowed together and how very well written!
I can highly recommend this to mystery fans.

Never read a story written by so many. It was interesting to see how each author changed the plot in her chapter.
Diane G. (Wow!! You are in for a ride with this book!! Each chapter brings in more confusing clues to the mystery!! Very well written and the last author did a great job tying all the clues together!
Leah (Fun. I like these books where different authors each write a chapter.
An interesting read. Thirteen women mystery writers colaborated on a story.it was interesting to see how the story was developed and how the plot was revealed.
Some of the best authors all in one book! Excellent mystery and thrillers.
