Ms America and the Mayhem in Miami
(2013)(The third book in the Beauty Queen Mystery series)
A novel by Diana Dempsey
(Beauty Queen Mysteries #3) Beauty queen Happy Pennington can't say no when hunky reality-show host Mario Suave asks her to step in as a last-minute judge for the Teen Princess of the Everglades beauty pageant in which his daughter Mariela is competing.
But in glittery Miami - the land of the tanned, the toned, and the treacherous - pageant preps screech to a dead halt when the unthinkable happens ...
One of Happy's fellow judges is found strangled by a string bikini.
Find out why readers call this mystery series "a giggle a minute" ... "superfab" ... and "a fun, rollicking romp" ...
Author Diana Dempsey never competed in beauty pageants but she did the next best thing: she worked in TV news. After a dozen years as an Emmy-winning anchor and reporter, Diana hung up her mic to become an author of fast and fun romantic fiction.
Her novels have been called "almost impossible to put down" (Romance Reviews Today), "skillfully plotted and filled with realistic detail" (Library Journal), and "spicy, sexy, and sultry" (Booklist). Her first novel was nominated for a RITA award for Best First Book by Romance Writers of America; another was a Top Pick of Romantic Times; a third was a selection of the Doubleday Book Club.
