Hostile Makeover: A Crime of Fashion Mystery

LACEY SMITHSONIAN PROMISES her new guy, Vic, she'll try to stay out of trouble. Long enough for a big romantic weekend getaway, at least. But on Lacey's crazy Washington DC fashion beat, trouble follows her like static cling on a silk skirt. First she scores a hot interview: reality TV star Amanda Manville, whose miracle surgical makeover has morphed her into a Supermodel Diva From Hell. Amanda has enemies, secrets, stalkers, and death threats, and she begs Lacey to find out who's trying to kill her. More trouble! Lacey's mother and sister land in DC, plotting an "extreme makeover" on her entire life. And worse: Vic's ex is in town too, and she wants him back-bad. What's a sensible fashion reporter to do?! Stride stylishly into harm's way! To save the day, Lacey must dodge screaming divas, drive-by shootings, a speeding stolen car (her own!), grumpy homicide cops, and even the newspaper's infamous office jinx. And she might discover that makeovers really can be murder.
