“Written in Arlene Kay’s intriguing style of a ‘cat and mouse’ scenario, Murder Masque delivers a suspenseful read. You’ll be guessing until the end.”

"'Splendido! Stupendo!' is how Mario Ricci would describe Arlene Kay’s latest offering, Murder Masque. And he would be right! Marky and Gemma meet Mario at the launch of his new miracle-promising hair conditioner at the Beauty Expo in Traverse City.  Too bad he brought more enemies than Poppet has lipstick shades with him, along with secrets from Aunt Violet’s past. Readers of The Mascara Murders and Murder at First Blush will not be disappointed. The characters and their lives become more endearing with each book.”
