Synopsis

The fifth sassy and irresistible entry in the Debutante Dropout series finds Andy Kendricks uncovering more than just the beauty secrets of Dallas high society …They call them ""pretty parties,"" and they're the latest rage among Dallas debutantes—get-togethers with light refreshments, heavy gossip, and Dr. Sonja and her magic Botox needles. Former socialite Andy Kendricks normally wouldn't be caught dead at such an event, but she's attending as a favor to her friend Janet, a society reporter in search of a juicy story. And, boy, does she find one when aging beauty queen Miranda DuBois bursts into the room—drunk, disorderly, and packing a pistol.Miranda's wrinkles have seen better days, and she blames it all on Dr. Sonja. Luckily, Andy calms her down and gets her home … where she's found dead the next morning. The police suspect suicide, but Andy knows that no former pageant girl would give up that easily. She's determined to find Miranda's killer herself, but she'll have to be careful. After all, Botox can make you look younger, but it can't bring you back from the grave.

Goodreads review by Mooncat

It was just boring, boring and oh yeah, boring. Added to that not unrelevant fact, Andy, The supposedly so smart heroine, was acting stupidely and jeez, her never ending thought processes neither shone with the brighteness of her intelligence. Shame, because I was looking forward to reading this one.......more

Goodreads review by Doris

Had read this previously. Main protagonist doesn't seem to be growing or getting any smarter. This one left me uninterested and bored. Just a lot of unnecessary repetitive filler. Don't know if I'll continue this series.......more
