Drama, romance and suspense all in one book! In this book you are in for the twists. The story is taken place in an upscale town called Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia. Everyone in this town knows everyone else’s business and love the dirty details. All the women are well taken care of and all attend the same Salon, Glow. While they are getting nails, wax or hair done, here is where the drama is spilled. The main instigator of all the drama is Olivia. She is top dog in this town, don’t mess with her because she will make you pay. As everyone else knows their place, once a new, younger woman gets introduced into their town, will Olivia be able to compete?

Crystal, is new to town and new to this lifestyle. She wasn’t raised with money and she is slowly trying to figure out Buckhead. Drama is high as she, unknowingly, stole one of the women's husband.

Shannon, the ex-wife, is a mess. She wishes she could take her husband and her life back. As she is being pushed out of this group she desperately wants to cling to someone.

Jenny runs Glow, the salon where the tea is dumped. Jenny is successful because all of these women attend her business. All Jenny wants to do is keep them happy.

Talk about Mean Girls, these women are brutal to one another. As Jealously and pay back goes back and fourth between all of them, as the title says, one of them is dead. Who will it be and why?

As I lay out the scene for this book it doesn’t sound like a book I would be interested in and as I read the first 150 pages it wasn’t catching my attention. But as the book kicked off, I could not stop reading. The author did a wonderful job with outrageous twists and details that adds the suspense. One gripe about this book would be how the individual died and the person that ended their life. For me, I love the realistic view of these books. I want to be convinced it’s real. If the book doesn’t accomplish that, it comes off as cheesy. With that said, a bit cheesy at the end, but still a fun read. Recommend!
