Руководство королевы красоты по убийствам

Dakota Green would rather participate in the «Hunger Games» than in the annual beauty pageant of Obergin. But the last wish of her late mother forces her to swap her work boots for stilettos and uncover the long-standing mystery of... the missing beauty queen.

Welcome to Obergin, Virginia, where the blue mountains, sweet air — and where the beauties have much darker secrets than last year's spray tan.
Armed with sarcasm instead of glitter, Dakota is reluctantly plunged into the ruthless world of sashes and smiles to win a pile of money and save her family home from sale. But when the pageant owner disappears the night before the finale, suspicion falls on Dakota's beloved aunt — DiDi.
Now Dakota must navigate a minefield of treacherous rivals, skeptical judges, a mysteriously attractive new sheriff, and uncover the secret of the long-ago disappearance of the beauty queen — all while maintaining her balance on high heels.

Can she unmask the killer, clear her aunt's name, and win the crown? Or will she become the next victim?
