If, judging by the name, you think im being sarcastic i must assure you that i am not in the slightest! This is a good clean whodunnit and is in my opinion one of the best murder mysteries i've ever read! Jean Lowery Nixon spins a wonderful tale here of murder, betrayal, love and greed centred around a health and beauty spa! In a nutshell without wanting to give anything away the plot is basically this. A young girl working in the swimming pool late one night comes across a corpse floating in the pool from there on it's a page- turning, pulse racing race to the finish.
I could not put this book down! I strongly urge that you buy this book if you are a fan of mystery books, murder and crime stories and can appreciate one of the greatest thriller writers that you I for one have ever come across!

She has to clean the jacuzzi, watch the swimming pool through the office and lock up at closing time. She will be working five days a week from three in the afternoon till closing.It was a great job and Liz loved it. She was meeting new people and having fun. Liz is always uneasy at closing time. Every sound echoes and all lights cast eerie shadows. One night she is by the pool and sommeone grabs her foot and screams in her face. Then it slides beneath the pool and is gone. The security guard refuses to help Liz and goes about his business. Danger surrounds Liz. Someone is watching her. Thank heaven Liz meet a faithful friend.

I've just started to read a lot of Joan Lowrey Nixon books, and this one is my favorite one so far. Her mysteries aren't too hard to figure out most of the time, and this one is no exception, but I love the main characters, Liz and Fran. They have so much personality I feel as if they could be my best friends. The dialogue between them is always funny, and even though this story is kind of lacking in the mystery and suspense area, it's still a great book. If you want a good mystery book or suspense book by this author try "The Seance", "The Kidnapping of Christina Lattimore", or "Wispers From the Dead"

great for young teens

i read this book with high expectations since i had previously read the weekend was murder(which i believe to be Nixon's best book). i must say it lived up to those expectations. Nixon is a great writer and her mysteries, although a little cheesy, are fun. i love her light romance. It's never too over the top. this book is great for younger teens because it is somewhat cheesy.It's not her best, but in my mind nothing tops the weekend was murder which also follows the life of Liz. I absolutely loved Fran... corky and sweet...this book is a great read.
