When the high-strung judge who tried to eliminate Lupe, a friend of Melanie and Angie, from the Sweet Tiara beauty pageant turns up dead, Mel and Angie investigate in order to clear Lupe's name.

The mystery itself is pretty straightforward. The clues are well spread out and easy to spot for an observant reader (or attentive listener). The barebones of the book — the mystery and the character development of Lupe — I thoroughly enjoyed.

But the book is bogged down with even more relationship melodrama between Mel and Joe. When she finally comes to her senses, of course there has to be a cliffhanger involving unsavory people in Joe's life who want to harm him by harming her. It's a trite plot twist and makes for a disappointing ending.
