Poppy\u2019s Bed and Breakfast is busier than ever, but she needs to leave things in the hopefully capable hands of Aunt Ginny\u2014and paws of Figaro the black smoke Persian. She\u2019s selling her paleo muffins and keto cookies at the Health and Beauty Expo in Cape May\u2019s Convention Hall. Normally sharing a booth with the love of her life would be a treat, but she\u2019s recently discovered secrets that throw her new romance into chaos.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">But more secrets are about to be exposed at the expo. In his keynote address, prominent cosmetic surgeon Dr. Lance Rubin reveals his breakthrough anti-aging technology. Unfortunately, someone has one-upped him with a truly foolproof anti-aging formula: murder. With the plastic surgeon dead under his own UV mask, and bedlam reigning in the hall and back at the B&amp;B, Poppy needs to follow a twisted trail marked by glowing footprints to unmask a killer . . .<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Includes Seven Recipes from Poppy\u2019s Kitchen!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_23787e9 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_2d1ea91  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25881 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png?resize=296%2C72\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong>\u00a0Jun 29, 2021<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>A Poppy McAllister Mystery<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>6<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Kensington Books<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $6.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Beauty turns deadly in this cozy-mystery multiple-murder by Libby Klein.\u00a0 This is the sixth book in A Poppy McAllister Mystery.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Poppy McAllister\u2019s<\/strong> life is not exactly going the way she had imagined.

She\u2019s selling her paleo muffins and keto cookies at the Health and Beauty Expo in Cape May\u2019s Convention Hall.
