Description
The author of Killing Cupid "again provides fans of this splendidly witty mystery series another comical romp" (Fresh Fiction).

For freelance writer Jaine Austen, working behind the scenes at a teen beauty pageant has shown her that sometimes beauty is in the eye of the murderer . . .

Teen contestant Taylor Van Sant has a talent for singing, but she can't write a song. So her über-pushy stage mom Heather has hired Jaine to pen lyrics the judges will love. Unfortunately, the hotel hosting Miss Teen Queen America is a dump, the cattiness is out of control, and Candace—the perfectly-coiffed, whip-cracking pageant director—is making even Jaine's life miserable. When Candace's assistant is found bludgeoned to death with a silver tiara, there are more suspects than sequins on a pageant gown—and Heather is first on the list. Taylor begs Jaine to help clear her mom's name, but finding the culprit is going to be trickier than walking the stage in stilettos . . .

Praise for the Jaine Austen mysteries

"I'm crazy about Laura Levine's mystery series. Her books are so outrageously funny." —Joanne Fluke, New York Times bestselling author

"Laura Levine's hilarious debut mystery, This Pen for Hire, is a laugh a page (or two or three) as well as a crafty puzzle. Sleuth Jaine Austen's amused take on life, love, sex and LA will delight readers. Sheer fun!" —Carolyn Hart, New York Times bestselling author

"Jaine can really dish it out." —The New York Times Book Review

"Fun. Jaine's dogged sleuthing and screwball antics will entertain fans of this fizzy series." —Publishers Weekly
