Corpse Suzette

When a plastic surgeon cuts and runs, a plus-sized PI takes on the case in this cozy mystery by the author of Murder à la Mode.

Despite New Year's resolutions to avoid irritating houseguests and nerve-wracking cases, California ex-cop-turned-private-detective Savannah Reid finds herself hosting her assistant's cranky cousin. And that's not all that stinks . . .

Voluptuous and proud of it, Savannah can't understand why any woman would diet in pursuit of beauty, never mind go under the knife. She likes herself just fine the way she is. Too bad her houseguest Abigail isn't as content. She is livid that her cousin, Tammy, won her an extreme makeover at San Carmelita's new luxury spa, Emerge.

There's barely time to worry about Abigail when one of Emerge's owners, renowned plastic surgeon Suzette DuBois, goes missing. As she broadens her search, Savannah soon realizes that some of the employees at this temple of perfection harbor serious inner flaws. And when one of the suspects ends up dead, Savannah's had enough. She'd love nothing more than to wrap up this case and make friends with a nice strawberry margarita. But first, she'll have to stitch up a killer who cuts to the bone . . .
