For Bailey, trading Manhattan for a weekend of major pampering at a friend's resort in rural Massachusetts is a no-brainer. But when she stumbles across a mummy-wrapped corpse in one of the spa's treatment rooms, her time-out suddenly morphs into a full-tilt murder investigation. Instead of slathering cellulite away with shea butter, she's uncovering suspects ranging from a spurned lover to a sleazy husband to a shady ring of employees. With a sexy, hard-to-resist homicide cop on the case and by her side, Bailey's soon chasing clues across state lines-and moving into the sights of a vengeful killer who is trying to wrap things up for good. This time, the body in the mud wrap could be her own.

From AudioFile:

In this follow up to White's debut, IF LOOKS COULD KILL, narrator Kate Walsh gives a convincing performance as Bailey Weggins, a likable and level-headed freelance true crime journalist. While on a much needed vacation at a bed and breakfast owned by a close friend, Weggins is drawn into an investigation when a popular massage therapist is murdered. A powerful attraction to the local police detective complicates Weggins's participation in the pursuit of the killer. It also confuses her feelings regarding a current love interest back in the city. Humor, sex, romance, well-conceived characters, and a cleverly structured plot make this a satisfying read. Walsh's fine narration brings it all together nicely.
