Cosmetic Crimes #1
Marketta Davis was Harbor Bay’s golden girl until the Chicago Art Institute sent her packing.

Marky and her partner Gemma Reid team up to save their business and their lives by finding the culprit.

“What fun! As a sleuth, Marky hits the mark. And her sidekick, Gemma, is a real gem. Life is grim for the town’s former golden girl, but Arlene Kay offers up a rich and lively journey home. This high energy story streaks along and the ending is unexpected and satisfying.”
