Nip, Tuck, Dead is a Pauline Sokol mystery. Pauline, an ex-nurse-turned insurance fraud investigator attempts to get the scoop on a plastic surgery “spa” that seems to be doing some shady business with their repeat clientele. Goldie, Pauline’s cross-dressing best friend, agrees to a nose job so Pauline can get inside and be his private nurse.
Once on the job, Pauline soon realizes there’s more going on than just an illegal money making scheme. With the help of her colleague, Jagger, who also makes her heart skip a beat (lots of them) she uncovers some nasty secrets. Family, money and greed run deep.
This book is a fast-paced joy ride! Just the right mix of romance, mystery and humor. I can’t wait to go on another adventure with Pauline and the gang.
