If Looks Could Kill ~ By Kate White

RATING: 4-1/2 STARS

Pure Fun! Told with a light, easy tone, this mystery is for the fan who wants something a little different than the norm.

Meet our heroine Bailey Weggins:

Bailey is a pretty thirty-something true crime writer who lives in New York City. She is not married, but is still hopeful of finding Mr. Right. No matter where she goes, trouble seems to follow her.

One day Bailey receives a frantic call from her boss, Cat. Apparently, Cat's live-in nanny, Heidi, seems to be missing. Cat begs Bailey to come over and check things out; she's afraid something has happened to Heidi and doesn't want to be alone.
Once Bailey enters Heidi's apartment, something is immediately amiss -- if the smell wasn't a dead giveaway, then Heidi's lifeless body is a sure tip-off. Who killed Heidi, and why? Cat asks Bailey to help solve the mystery, and by the novels' end, everyone seems to be a suspect.

Author Kate White did a very good job of keeping me guessing -- I thought the killer was every character at least once throughout the book -- and had me surprised once the killer was revealed in the last few pages. The writing was very easy and flowing, and the New York City setting made it all the more fun, especially since I used to live in NYC.

I recommend this book for an entertaining beach read or for anyone wanting a quick, satisfying, light story.
