Makeover for Murder: A Kate Bundeen Mystery

by Cindy Vincent

Divorced and down to her last dime, former homemaker Kate Bundeen takes the only job she can find in Haysfield, Missouri, that of a Lady Beth Cosmetics Representative. With the bank breathing down her back and mumbling the "f" word ¡ª foreclosure ¡ª she doesn't think life can get any more maniacal. That is, until she inadvertently inherits the last house on her assigned sales route, Marshall Mansion, the turn-of-some-century home known to be as haunted as it is historic. Of course, when the bank snatches her own house away, Kate and her three kids have no choice but to move into Marshall Mansion. But no sooner do they get settled into the surprisingly magnificent Mansion than Kate is accused of killing the building's previous owner. That's when her role as a Lady Beth Rep puts her in the perfect position to unmask the real murderer and prove her innocence, especially since the killer left a calling card ¡ª a bottle of Pretentious Pink Lady Beth nail polish. As Kate struggles to solve the crime, performing makeover miracles along the way, her kids also jump into the fray, and her very residence alone lands a whole slew of unlikely suspects on her doorstep.
