Summary: fluffy as frosting
Review: Bailey Weggins is a true crime reporter for Gloss, a New York's woman's magazine. Bailey receives a phone call from Ashley Hanes, a fellow bridesmaid in Bailey's former college roommate's wedding. Ashley is very disturbed about the deaths of two of the other bridesmaids. She fears she is next. Bailey feels it is just coincidence until Ashley also turns up dead in a freakish accident. Bailey starts investigating the deaths. She is being stalked and her car is run of the road. Finding out who is behind the deaths becomes a life and death situation for Bailey.

As editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, Kate White, knows the world in which her books are set. Her characters are a too bit one-dimensional to be intriguing or even believable. The plot was a little short on reality too. What police department would really discount the deaths of three bridesmaids as coincidence. Bailey is a feisty character and the book is a light, easy read. It's not a bad book, but just don't expect too much out of it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: too much Gloss
Review: I didn't DISLIKE this book, but I didn't love it either. I think it just felt to formulaic, without enough charm in the writing to make me not mind. Other readers, obviously, differ. I agree with the reviewer who said that one just couldn't believe that Bailey would be involved with these people (although there WAS some motivation for becoming re-involved) and the people were too uninteresting to care about. Also, I think it is time to develop Bailey's character more -- I do not seem to know her better after each book. she could be anyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ENTERTAINING SERIES....
Review: Bailey continues to write true crime articles for Gloss magazine. Only now she is her own source. Bailey has become an amateur sleuth, and she is about to go to work once again. When fellow bridesmaid Ashley Hanes calls Bailey, months after the wedding, Bailey figures she wants a favor. She does. In a way. Ashley is calling about the recent deaths of two women. It just so happens they were bridesmaids with Ashley and Bailey at a spring wedding. Suddenly Bailey sees this favor in a whole new light - a self-serving, life-saving light.

Bailey heads to Greenwich to investigate the deaths. She eventually ends up with a third body and a couple of her own scary moments. The local police think she's screwy and the Greenwich population is... well... different. Bailey is sooo ready to figure this out and go home.

This is the third Bailey Weggins mystery. Bailey's character has grown in wit and wisdom since the series debut, "If Looks Could Kill." This mystery is mildly complex, and the storyline, as a whole, enjoyable. The characters in Bailey's high society world are still as exasperating as ever. And Baileyette's (series followers) will enjoy Bailey's "will she, won't she" behavior with her latest love interest. It's an amusing series for the light-hearted reader who welcomes a good dose of dry humor in their mystery.

If you haven't listened to this series on audio book then you haven't met Bailey. Actress Kate Walsh is Bailey and those sarcastic, witty moments are some of her best reading scenes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mother of a read...
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I am the mother of a 14 month old and have not been able to stay with a book (I like the murder mystery genre) since I was pregnant. For those of you with little ones you know what it's like trying to read with an infant needing your constant attention and then later a toddler ripping the book out of your hands. This one I can steal a chapter or a half a chapter here and there (during naps and such) and not get "lost" when I pick it back up again. I found it while reading a selection from it in Cosmo. What a find.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good read!!
Review: This book is the most interesting in the Bailey Wiggins series. It kept me guessing throughout the entire book! I also loved the ending, where Bailey finds a stronger sense of self.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very light entertainment
Review: I enjoy this series because I love hearing about the life of a NYC magazine writer. This is the third in a series and better than the other two since discovering who the murderer was more clever and suspenseful. A recommended beach read!

Summary: Third Time Is A Charm!
Review: Bailey Weggins is back and just as good as ever! In 'Til Death Do Us Part, Bailey is still working for Gloss magazine as a true crime story journalist. It's been a while since she was involved in her last "story", and her life is pretty mellow and normal. Until she receives a call from Ashley. a lady that she was an attendant with in a mutual friend's wedding. Two of the other bridesmaids have died mysterious (and accidental) deaths, but Ashley fears that they were murdered and that she might be next. She asks Bailey to get on the case and do some digging. Bailey, never one to turn down an opportunity to solve crimes, gets involved and finds herself in the middle of all kinds of various mysteries.

It was a page turner and I couldn't put it down! It's a must read...especially for Kate White fans. You think you know...but you don't...and then it's so obvious you'll question everything. Very good!
