Book Review - Frosted Shadow, A Toni Diamond Mystery by Nancy Warren
I admit that I didn't expect to like this book but I did. The main character, Toni Diamond not only sells makeup in a door-to-door party kind of way but she lives for it. She believes that makeup only enhances a woman's beauty, rather than creates it. She's not a fluffy as you might think - underneath the big hair and perfect makeup she has a brain for good business and a kind heart.
As a divorced mother of a teenager with her quirky mother in tow, Toni manages to become involved in a murder at the Lady Bianca cosmetics annual convention. First someone seemingly unrelated to the convention is found murdered and then Toni's nemesis. Luckily for Toni there is a handsome detective on the scene.
There was a slight twist in the end but the true killer wasn't too surprising. I might have liked the romance element to have started a little more slowly as I don't think most detectives would fall so quickly for someone who could possibly be a murderer. But then again, with all that estrogen floating around a makeup convention, maybe he got carried away.
Happy trails,
Leslie
