"Dying to be Beautiful" by Marcia Rosen
Hamptons Murder Mystery Series Asks:
What’s More Shocking, the Crimes or the Reasons People Commit
Them?
The “Dying To Be Beautiful” mystery
series introduced this spring is set in the Hamptons, where sometimes it seems
that even the murdered and suspected murderers have a sense of entitlement. In the first few lines of Book One of the series, “Without A
Head,” Rosen immediately grabs our attention: “The head in the sink stared up
at her. Darcy Monroe, the owner of a popular, chic hair salon was used to this.
Only this time, the head was there without a body.”
In the first few lines of Book Two, “Fashion Queen,” Rosen draws
us in again: “Kevin Larson swam in his pool nearly every
morning. Going on sixty-five, he prided himself on being in good shape. Walking
toward the small pool house, he noticed a light was on to the left of the pool.
He was certain he turned it off the night before. Strange, he thought. Even stranger, lying in a different sort of pool — blood — was his
longtime friend and lover, fashion designer Andre Yellen.”
The unnerving narrative continues: “Yellen was
stuffed into one of the gowns he had designed and wearing a blond wig. The gown
had been auctioned off the night before at a huge Hampton fundraiser. People in
The Hamptons were certainly dying to be beautiful.”
Private investigator Jenna Preston and her long-time
friend, Detective Troy Johnson, work together to solve these murders that leave
us wondering: Which is more shocking, the crimes themselves or the reasons
people commit them? Throughout the series, solving such crimes leads Jenna to
philosophical perspectives, danger and romance (thanks to her Irish setter,
Watson).
