Description
Beauty dies. But secrets never do . . .
Twenty-five years ago, Isabelle Whitmore vanished without a trace during the Lone Star Princess Pageant in Anhalt, Texas. This year, the pageant is offering more than just its annual dose of rhinestone heels and plunging necklines—Isabelle's sister, Ingrid Whitmore, is back and looking for revenge.
But just as confrontations and old rivalries reach their boiling point, the temperature plummets: record-breaking snow and freezing rain bring down the state's entire power grid.
With everyone trapped under one roof, secrets will be spilled, scores will be settled—and more than one beautiful liar will end up dead.
Pretty Dead Things by Kelsey Cox unravels a thrilling mystery where beauty meets deception in a chilling showdown.

About the Author
Kelsey Cox received her MFA in fiction from Purdue University and works from home in the Texas Hill Country. You can often find her writing at Mammen Family Public Library, chasing around her two young daughters, or watching British mysteries with her mom and aunts. On nights when bedtime goes as planned, she enjoys curling up on the sofa, glass of wine in hand, and a book with complicated characters and a killer twist in her lap.
