3 out of 5 stars
DEAD GORGEOUS was not necessarily my cup of tea, but if you
like the old, traditional whodunit stylings of Agatha Christie or say, Murder She
Wrote, I think you will find this novel entertaining.
Set in the world of fashion, D.I. Angela Costello must find out
who killed Kirsty Manners. But the more Angela digs, the more she finds that
Kirsty was not just a beautiful and aspiring model, but also a conniving and opportunistic
person, with enemies at every turn.
Angela and her team must piece together what little evidence they have
in order to find their killer. Working
with a meticulous and keen talent of unearthing clues that are barely there,
D.I. Costello narrows down the list of possible suspects until only one stands
out.
Though DEAD GORGEOUS was intriguing as a whodunit, the
characters just didn’t seem that engaging to me. The interaction between them never really
evoked any emotion or connection. The
plot and the precision was there but the characters just seemed to fall a
little flat. DEAD GORGEOUS is a striped
down mystery where the suspects and clues take center stage.
