Scary!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Would help to read previous two novels in this series first. However, you can read them out of sequence without being totally lost. A page turner that will leave you wanting more from this author!
Very good

Die Smiling is the third book in the Claire Morgan series. Claire is a detective along with her partner Bud in a small town in Missouri. Bud is dating Brianna, a model and former Beauty Queen. A beauty contest is being held for all ages at the resort that Clarie's boyfriend, Nick Black owns. Bri hasn't heard from her sister, Hilde, in a few days and asks Bud and Claire to check on her. Claire and Bud find Hilde dead in the shower with her lips cut off leaving her with a grotesque smile. Claire and Bud begin to investigate with the help of her rich boyfriend, Nick. This book wasn't as creepy and dark as the first two books, but I really enjoyed it and always find them to be highly entertaining. I'm always surprised by some aspect of the murder mystery and she didn't dissappoint in this sequel.
An Ozark Roller coaster ride

In Die Smiling Ms Ladd gives us her third novel featuring Detective Claire Morgan. In this novel Claire along with her billionaire boyfriend psychiatrist Nick Black 'shrink of the strars and resort owner' and her other cohorts at the Sheriffs Department in Lake of the Ozarks Missouri try to solve the grizzly murder of a Model, it becomes a bit sticky when the sister of the victim is dating Claire's partner, but it doesn't end there, and as the plot thickens we the readers are left scratching our heads trying to figure out 'who done it'. There are more twists and turns in this read than on any rollercoaster I've ever been on, but believe me when I say you'll love the ride. This novel isn't for the feint of heart but if you love a great crime/mystery read with just a touch of romance then this book is for you.
ANOTHER GREAT ONE!

Since I totally lack writing skills, I won't go into a lengthy review. I'll just tell this is another great book. I look forward to the next one!
