Now the contestants have separate lives yet still live in the same area. One of the former contestants has a TV show and invites them for a reunion on her program. All hell breaks loose and the attacks resume.The story delves into the lives of the contestants and what happened to them later in life as the mystery unfolds. Carol masterfully drops little clues that lead you in several different directions trying to discover who the bad person is. Is it Corinne, the beauty pageant winner who is horribly scarred with acid? Is it John, the mysterious writer that has a past with Corinne? Mixed with some pretty steamy scenes, the story slowly unravels the mystery and reveals an unexpected culprit.I highly recommend seeking this novel out. It is well worth the effort.
Another great pageturner from the pen of Carol Davis Luce.

SKIN DEEP is a terrific blend of mystery, suspense, horror, and romance. This is one of those rare books that was, for me, quite literally impossible to put down! It's a book that men and women can enjoy.Be sure to read Ms. Luce's other fine novels, NIGHT STALKER, NIGHT PREY, NIGHT PASSAGE, and NIGHT GAMES.
Looking For A Groovy Beach Book?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Summer is already here in Florida. Put away the Bukowski, Fitzgerald, Stryon and pull out the cheesy thrillers perfect for the beach. Chills and thrills are my summer game as long as it's not a tale about a lonely rich (young) and beautiful widow who falls in love with her handyman. This one had "beachy" stamped on the cover and I bought it. I was more than pleasantly surprised. In the world of paperback thrillers, it was a page turner with plenty of twists and a great insight into the grown up lives of former beauty queens. It's not one of the classics, but a better than average summer read about a killer stalking four former pageant winners. It's fun - read it!
