About the Book The Silver Dagger Award-winning author of Fatlands and Birth Marks presents another Hannah Wolfe mystery. In her latest exploit, Hannah goes behind the scenes at a health spa and investigates such sabotage as fish in the jacuzzi and nails in the massage heads. Book Synopsis A decade before her dazzling breakthrough novel, The Birth of Venus, Silver Dagger Award-winning author Sarah Dunant won critical acclaim for her Hannah Wolfe crime novels. In Under My Skin, private investigator Hannah Wolfes cushy new assignment takes her to the sumptuous Castle Dean health spa. While being plucked, crimped, steamed, and oiled, Hannah is ideally placed to probe some reported cases of sabotage -- fish in the Jacuzzi and steel nails in the massage heads. But spa owner Olivia Marchant has other problems besides sabotage. Someone is threatening her husband, Maurice, one of Londons leading cosmetic surgeons and the man responsible for reconstructing many of the worlds rich and famous. In a culture where no one wants to grow old and everyone seems to believe in the power of the knife, Hannah feels like an alien visitor. People will do anything in the name of beauty -- perhaps even commit murde Review Quotes London Sunday Times A fictional voice that is as barbed and wisecracking and lucid and laid-back as Chandlers. Sunday Times (London) What Dunant does brilliantly is to use the thriller for the novel of ideas.
