    About this audiobook

    The fifth sassy and irresistible entry in the Debutante Dropout series finds Andy Kendricks uncovering more than just the beauty secrets of Dallas high society …

    They call them ""pretty parties,"" and they're the latest rage among Dallas debutantes—get-togethers with light refreshments, heavy gossip, and Dr. Sonja and her magic Botox needles. Former socialite Andy Kendricks normally wouldn't be caught dead at such an event, but she's attending as a favor to her friend Janet, a society reporter in search of a juicy story. And, boy, does she find one when aging beauty queen Miranda DuBois bursts into the room—drunk, disorderly, and packing a pistol.

    Miranda's wrinkles have seen better days, and she blames it all on Dr. Sonja. Luckily, Andy calms her down and gets her home … where she's found dead the next morning. The police suspect suicide, but Andy knows that no former pageant girl would give up that easily. She's determined to find Miranda's killer herself, but she'll have to be careful. After all, Botox can make you look younger, but it can't bring you back from the grave.

      Why oh why do I continue to read these books? Mainly because they are set in Dallas but it's not the Dallas I know and love. Usually I am willing to overlook the traditional stereotypes of Dallas but for some reason this time around they really irked me. Maybe it's because if you have read any of the other books in the series you will have already seen these stereotypes. Shouldn't the author be able to develop the characters further than these shallow facades? I'm having a hard time understanding how someone like Andy who is supposed to be so smart, misses obvious clues, can't understand her mother's motivations, and yet somehow wraps everything up at the last minute due to some lucky coincidence. I just don't know if I can handle buying anymore of these books. Maybe it's time to relegate this author to library only status, if that.
