Synopsis
During the frenzy of the December holidays, the last thing salon owner Marla Vail needs is a dead body slathered in a green facial mask at her new day spa. The victim, Valerie Weston, was a major donor for Friends of Old Florida, a historic building preservation society. Marla’s stylists are scheduled to work backstage at their upcoming gala fashion show, but Val’s demise might put a crimp in their plans. Hoping to salvage her reputation, Marla determines to track down the suspects. As she learns more about Val, she realizes the benefactress might have stumbled onto secrets others would kill to keep. She’d better prepare for a body count that has nothing to do with hot stone massages and everything to do with murder.
“Marla, I know the lady expired on your property, but it’s my investigation. Don’t you have enough on your mind?”
“I can be curious, can’t I?”
“Maybe. Why is this fashion show so important?”
“It’s about recognition, Dalton. That’s the same reason why I’d like our salon to be involved in photo shoots. I want to believe I’m doing more than just operating a salon.”
“You’re serving your customers. Isn’t that enough?”
“Ever since the excitement in Arizona, I have an urge for something more.” She couldn’t explain her restlessness, but their honeymoon adventures had left her dissatisfied with the status quo.
“Oh, yeah? I have a suggestion.” His hand drifted to her belly. “We could increase our family.”
“What?” His remark blindsided her. They’d already discussed this issue. “You know how I feel about having my own kids. Why are you bringing this up now?”
“You just said you’re restless. And you’re a wonderful mother to Brie. Having a baby would give you a new focus.”
“That’s exactly why I don’t want more children.” Sweat broke out on her brow. She’d thought Dalton and she were on the same page regarding this subject.

“Fatals Can Be Fatal” sounds like a really fun read. A murder at a spa makes for a great storyline.

Yes, it does. One goes to the spa to relax and have a peaceful experience. A murder would cause turmoil.
