About this ebook

From Kate White, the New York Times bestselling author of the Bailey Weggins mystery series and several standalone novels, comes So Pretty It Hurts, fans of If Looks Could Kill, Over Her Dead Body, and Lethally Blond have been waiting for.

Bailey Weggins, the sassy amateur sleuth and true-crime journalist, is in a good place. She’s enjoying her regular gig at Buzz, a leading celebrity magazine, getting freelance work, and hoping her first book will garner attention. In the love department, she’s finally back in the game with her recently-turned-exclusive boyfriend, Beau Regan.

When Beau heads out of town one early December weekend, Bailey accepts an invitation from her office friend Jessie to a music mogul’s house in the country, hoping for a fun, relaxing getaway. But a weird tension settles over the houseguests—a glamorous crowd that includes the famously thin supermodel Devon Barr. An impending snowstorm only adds to the unease. So when Devon’s lifeless body is found in her bed, Bailey immediately suspects foul play: she can’t stop thinking of the day before, when a frightened Devon shivered in the woods and pleaded, “I have to get out of here. . . . It’s not safe for me.”

When Bailey starts to nose around, she finds herself a moving target—running closer to the truth and straight into danger. She’s determined to find out who’s responsible, but her investigation could provoke the killer into striking again…

Ratings and reviews

This is my first Kate White book so I wasn't sure how I'd like it, but it was pretty good. You don't really have to read the other books to get into this one, either. The story was smooth and interesting. And most important of all, I hadn't guessed who the murderer was by the time the main character revealed it. I'd read more of her stuff.

Excellent page turner, and manages to pull of thrilling and funny - sometimes on the same page!
