The Barnes & Noble Review
Kate White uses her experience as editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan to add a fascinating insider's perspective to her stylish series set in the New York magazine world. In her debut, If Looks Could Kill, she introduces Bailey Weggins, the sexy, savvy, street-smart reporter who specializes in true-crime stories for the upscale woman's magazine Gloss. She loves her work, adores the Greenwich Village apartment she got as part of her divorce settlement, and is frequently fed up with Manhattan's 30-something, single-again dating scene. Though she's not exactly thrilled to run out on the oh-so-sexy, commitment-shy hunk who's warming her bed early one Sunday morning, she can't ignore a call for help from her volatile boss, Cat Jones: Cat's worried because her usually reliable live-in nanny didn't show up for their appointment and isn't answering her door. It doesn't sound like much of an emergency, but Bailey finds more to worry about than she expected: The drop-dead-gorgeous nanny has in fact dropped dead, and it turns out the cause of death was poison in some purloined sweets intended for Cat. Was Cat the only target, or is someone trying to kill editors of classy women's magazines? This is one story Bailey can't afford to lose any time researching, as the deadline may be a literal one!
