Skye's mother, however, wants Skye to get back with Simon. Simon's mother, Bunny, also wants Skye and Simon to get back together. Skye thinks her mom and Bunny are just at the spa to work on repairing her relationship with Simon, and make it difficult to spend time with Wally. However, when Skye finds a dead woman in the special mud bath, she starts spending more time with Wally as she tries to assist the police with their investigation.

In the meantime, Simon is back from California and wants to make up with Skye, but he won't tell Skye the whole story about the friend he stayed with in California – a female friend. After all, Simon reasons, if Skye truly loved Simon, she'd trust him. Skye has a different opinion, and she's moved on to Wally, anyway. Skye and Wally have always had a strong attraction to each other, and now that they are both free to pursue the relationship, they are going to do just that. However, Simon is the local corner so, when Skye finds the body, she has to deal with Simon. So does Wally. Everybody is just a mite uncomfortable with the situation, especially with Meg (Skye's mom) and Bunny trying to get Simon and Skye back together.

If it sounds like there is more romance than mystery in this book, maybe there is. The mystery, however, is there. And it's a good one. Who did kill the gorgeous blond in the mud bath, and why? She, Esmé, the dead woman, certainly had enough enemies. And many of them were also at the spa. And maybe her death was an accident? But how do you accidentally drown in a mud bath?

This is a charming series of books, with an enjoyable cast of characters. The trials and tribulations of Skye's life, such as they are, are entertaining reading. The mystery is a good one with enough clues to keep it interesting but not enough to give away the answer until the very end. For fans of the cozy mystery, this book should be on your list of must reads.
