    About this audiobook

    Bailey Weggins, the very clever and the very irreverent true crime writer for Gloss, a leading women's magazine, is in desperate need of a little R&R after solving the murder of her boss' nanny. A trip to the Cedar Inn and Spa seems like the perfect remedy. Bailey, totally full of Zen after her deep tissue massage, looks forward to all of the other treatments. Getting ready for bed, she realizes she forgot the Rolex that her father gave her before he died. She and Piper, her massage therapist, go back, only to discover a dead body getting a seaweed wrap. The body turns out to be Anna, another massage therapist. Detective Beck arrives, and against her better judgment, Bailey becomes infatuated with him, forgetting her tepid relationship with her boyfriend. Bailey learns that one of Anna's clients died of heart failure after she worked on him. Then the spa owner's second husband, who was clandestinely pursuing Anna, becomes suspect number one. But Anna's past also provides numerous suspects. Was she killed by a client who'd been rebuffed? Or by a male therapist who she'd apparently spurned? Or the son of the heart attack victim who blames the spa for this father's death? Or by someone from her deeper past? Bailey keeps digging, getting closer to the truth. Then there's a second horrifying murder at the inn, and it's clear that Bailey's life is in danger. Nothing prepares her for the answer she finds as she finally discovers who the murderer is.

      A Body To Die For is a great follow-up to If Looks Could Kill. It's fun, breezy, and entertaining. The main character, Bailey, is a funny, quirky, and quick-witted character. The novels are fast-paced and smart, with plot twists that are exposed at just the right time with just the right amount of suspense to keep you engrossed.
    • 5/5
      Kate White is my new favorite author! I love how she writes a great mystery that keeps you guessing but the heroine is so easy to like. I will be reading more of her books.
    • 5/5
      Very good book. Recommend to anyone who enjoys mysteries. Fun
    • 5/5
      Excellent - to the very end she keeps you guessing!!!
    • 4/5
      I liked the book but the audio skipped a lot as if it was on a scratched CD. So strange and a bit annoying.
      Recommend the book though! Good mystery!
    • 1/5
      The narrative is way too simplistic for my tastes. The style of writing is also a bit on a mindless side, although, not dumb.
    • 3/5
      So apparently I read a lot of books where the main character annoys me but I like the story enough to continue the journey.

      This is one of those books. Bailey annoyed me on some many levels but the main problem I have is her tendency to have judgemental sarcastic comments. She refers to groups as negative stereotypes and loves to taut her own talent.

      Other than the spa owner who asks for Bailey's help not a lot of the other characters had any redeeming values to me. And there were way too many suspects for such an isolated location.

      I did like the murder which was unique and loved the conclusion but I just wasn't thrilled with the main character. I'll try more in the series to see how it goes.

      Kate Walsh is a great narrator who really gave Bailey a good voice and it was nice to listen to.
    • 5/5
      I really liked the characters in this book! It was a complete surprise at the end, as to whom the actual murderer was! Fast paced, intense and surprisingly well done!
    • 4/5
      just for the fun of it
    • 2/5
      I adore White's nonfiction, as she has a delightful way of writing. No one else can match her snappy, unique style. I found the book's plot a little too simplistic for my tastes, but would recommend it to those looking for some light beach reading.
    • 4/5
      Really liked this book. Want to read another of her books to see if I am sure about liking her books. As the previous editor of Cosmo mag though, she has to be a pretty good writer since this one was good, right? Try her non fic books out as well!
    • 3/5
      A Nancy Drew-esque murder mystery for those who have outgrown Nancy Drew. The character even admits she's been playing 'Nancy Drew.' Nothing to amazing or shocking, but not sensationalist or over the top, either. Enjoyable.
      And Kate Walsh is a great reader/voice-over person.
