A couple days later his wife body is also found dead. With these two murders and some of the contestants having item stolen or destroyed it is time for Cam to starting investigating who might want to sabotage and possibly stop the pageant.

So Cam, her boyfriend Rob and her close friend Annie out to find the killer. So using Rob's reporter skills and Annie expertise using the internet they are able to find the killer and tie it up in a neat package for the police.

Even though this is a book of fiction, I did find it believable to see what goes on behind the scenes at these types of pageants. ( )

I just couldn't get into this book at all. I liked the first book well enough that I looked forward to this one, but it just fell flat. I had a hard time remembering who was who from the first book at first, so it took me a while to sort it all out. Then, well, meh.

The characters are all likeable, the plot was serpentine and convoluted and almost too complicated, but it kept you guessing. It was well written. And beyond the pageant stuff - which I have zero interest in on a good day - I like the gardening talk. So I can't really say why this book fell to short for me.

I'll wait for the next book before deciding whether or not to drop this series - it could be just a sophomore slump. ( )
