Publisher's summary

The promise of discretion and pampering - and a longer overdue reconciliation with her mother - draws Caroline Blessing, the young wife of a newly elected congressman, to the fancy Phoenix Spa. But after her first night in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Caroline wakes to find the rich and famous guests in turmoil and under suspicion: the spa's flamboyant and ambitious owner has been murdered. As the secrets come out - and the body count rises - can Caroline keep herself from becoming the next victim?

Love her, she does all the jd Robb books

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Just surprise

loved it!

I enjoyed the storyline, the characters, the plot, and the intrigue. The co-authors were brilliant in making the chapters flow seamlessly. Susan Erickson is my favorite narrator. I read just about everything she narrates especially JD Robb's in death series.

Great Book

This is a very good book. I really wish these novelists would collaborate on another story. They have done an excellent job.

A nice easy listen

Not great. Not bad. I think I got it for the curiousity factor. So many different writers. I give them a lot of credit for creativity.

Wonderful story

So amazing that 13 writers could collaborate on this book. I loved every minute of this read!

Great fun!

Each of these very talented authors had a chapter to write, which would be followed by the next author, who had to put her own spin on the story, which would be subsequently followed by yet another author with yet another spin! What glorious fun! I enjoyed this entire book and looked forward to each chapter, wondering how this author would carry the story forward and eventually ... how it would all end!

Pretty well done for a new writer every chapter.

It was cool to recognize the different styles in each chapter. Story line was ok, not amazing, but fun.

Fun

It was fun to see how each writer handled what she was given. However it became too fantastic to believe.

Completely enjoyable.

I thoroughly enjoyed the way each author took the story and characters from the previous author and ran with it. It was so much fun to see what was going to happen next. A book I will keep in my collection and listen to again and again.
