Angie is always ready to surprise me, and I guess Detective Kim Stone as well. Never would have guessed we would be taken into the luxurious and competitive world of British beauty pageants. Yet, that is where we both found us. Not just us, Kim's team as well. Beauty pageants seem to be such an American things, but I guess it is a British things, at least for some. The whole thing has always puzzled me, and I think Marsons has captured the different roles mothers, daughters, and the people in the business can have.

Despite the very unlikable characters the book was filled with, the book itself was superbly likable. I so love to read about Kim and her team, and most of all about Barney, the dog. It was especially enjoyable reading about the growth of one of the team members, despite the hardships.

It is really hard to write about the story line without giving anything away, and I do not want to take anything away from this wonderful story. I cannot believe this is already the 20th book, because it is still somehow fresh and genuine. Never knew I could fall in love over and over again!
