The promise of discretion and pampering -- and a long-overdue reconciliation with her mother -- draws Caroline Blessing, the young wife of a newly elected congressman, to the fancy Phoenix Spa. But after her first night in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Caroline wakes to find the rich and famous guests in turmoil and under suspicion: the spa's flamboyant and ambitious owner has been murdered. As the secrets come out -- and the body count rises -- can Caroline keep herself from becoming the next victim?
In the tradition of such collaborative classics as Naked Came the Manatee and The Floating Admiral, each chapter in this serial novel is written by one of today's most talented mystery novelists.

I was really hoping to get this one -- the list of authors is impressive, and I've never read a serial novel like this before. But alas, this book has gathered too much dust on Mt. TBR!

This was on the Wrap-It-Up buffet. It's a serial novel, with each chapter written by another novelist. I've never heard of such a thing, so I'm so glad I chose it.
Wyldanthem, if you change your mind and want it back when I'm finished, just let me know.

The concept of a serial novel was interesting, and I recognized the voice of a local aiputhor & newspaper columnist, Lisa Scottoline, which was fun. The story was kind of lame but it was a quck read & perfect for light before-bed reading.
