If Looks Could Kill by Katherine Blake

Martinis, Make-up . . . and Murder

Martinis, makeup .... and murder?

It's 1950 and Loretta Darling is living the California dream. She's a make-up artist to the stars, dancing till dawn at fancy parties and tanning on palm tree lined beaches.

But Tinseltown backlots are filled with monsters, and Loretta finds herself up-close-and-personal with one of the worst.

Big mistake. Huge.

LA has picked on the wrong girl, and they're about to discover there's much more than lipstick lurking in her beauty case.

Hollywood may be Loretta's dream, but she's straight out of their nightmares.
