From Kate White, the editor in chief of Cosmopolitan, comes the sensational New York Times bestseller that's turning heads everywhere as she introduces a heroine whose blend of wry humor and gutsiness will win over readers everywhere.. Meet Bailey Weggins-the thirty-something, single again Manhattan true crime writer with a sixth sense for truth, fashion, and murder most dishy...If Looks Could Kill.

Bailey's in bed with her commitment-phobic lover when she gets a frantic call from Cat Jones, her boss at Gloss magazine. It turns out that something is seriously clashing with the decor in Cat's chic Upper East Side town house: the dead body of the family's nanny. When Cat appears to have been the intended victim, Bailey is suddenly up to her bed head in a high-profile investigation that's perfect fodder for the tabloids. Faced with a glittering array of A-list suspects, Bailey's soon hotfooting on her blood-red slingbacks from Manhattan's exclusive enclaves to the tony estates of Connecticut in search of a killer story-and a murderer who could delete her name from the masthead for good.

As Bailey "unofficially" delves into the murdered girl's past, she finds no shortage of A-list suspects. But when a startling discovery suggests that Cat may have been the intended victim, Bailey is suddenly up to her bed head in a high-profile investigation that's perfect fodder for a tabloid headline: Is someone trying to kill the editors of women's magazines?

With the spotlight on New York's glitzy media world, Bailey interviews back-stabbing editors, straying husbands, and one sexy, six-foot-two psychologist who could make her decide to kick K.C. to the curb. Sporting her pair of red slingbacks and armed with the investigative skills she's honed as a true crime reporter, she sets out on a search that takes her from Manhattan's exclusive Carnegie Hill area — the nanny heartland of America — to the ritzy weekend estates of Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Bailey will need all her street smarts and some lightning-fast detective work to catch a killer who could end up deleting her name from the masthead for good.
