Now Spanogle takes us into the dark heart of medicine to tell a terrifying story of a billion-dollar medical breakthrough–and the side effects it unleashes. . . . A former medical detective for the Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Nate McCormick had seen enough suffering to last a lifetime. Now he’s left the CDC, determined to begin a new life with his girlfriend in San Francisco–until the vicious murder of an old friend hurtles him back into the world he left behind. While police hunt for a killer, Nate starts sifting through evidence, convinced that the dead man’s research at a high-tech lab has gotten him killed–and has harmed dozens of innocent women. With only a handful of clues, Nate soon uncovers a hidden link between his friend’s employer and a dangerous cosmetic drug. But suddenly the stakes are raised. The woman he loves has been thrust into the line of fire, and Nate is running out of time. As more women surface with agonizing stories to tell, Nate makes the most startling discovery of all: a secret alliance between crime, science, and a billion-dollar industry–where some people have already paid the ultimate price for beauty. Taut, thrilling, and relentless, Flawless takes us on a terrifying, adrenaline-charged journey.

"Flawless reminded me of books like Judith Krantz and Olivia Goldsmith used to write - romps through a rich and powerful world where everything turns out okay in the end. I couldn't put it down, glad these are becoming available on Kindle - I'll be looking for the next ones."
— Maryellen (5 out of 5 stars)
" Fab book to take you away from reality and into the lives of the super rich "
— Michelle, 1/20/2014" Slow to start, but once I got started I really enjoyed it. "
— Colleen, 1/16/2014" Was an ok read. The story was slow and repetitive at times, but interesting overall. "
— J, 12/12/2013" Though fictional, it did educate me on diamonds.. :) "
— Tracy, 12/11/2013" Good once you got into it first couple of chapters really dragged I wanted to give up reading it but i never let myself do that if I start a book I have to finish it and I'm glad I did once it got going was a really good read and strangely not as long a book as it looks "
— Gemma, 8/29/2013" This started off as a chore but got better as it went along. Honestly, towards the end I was racing through just to finish because it took me SO LONG to get through this one! (only due to my busy schedule as opposed to poor writing) "
— Helen, 5/13/2013" When I started to read the first few pages I thought this is not my type of book. I carried on and I must say that I was surprised that I really got into It. "
— Lynda, 4/15/2013" Another goodie from Bagshawe, this is perfect chick lit! The lovely heroine, bad boys turned good, the evil villain, overbearing mothers, the kind old aunt and LA darlings... All the characters you need for a satisfying escapist read! And it's all about diamonds... "
— Beverley, 10/13/2012" A fluffy romantic comedy with a bit of adventure. Good to read if you want something a bit trashy. "
— Paigethelibrarian, 9/10/2012" Good book. Liked it a lot. Reminded me why I love the writing style of Tilly so much. The story is nice and sweet, yet not too romantic. It was more about the diamond industry and the story around it, then about a romantic love affrair. It was good! "
— Chantal, 2/4/2012" This book for me was the equivalent to a tawdry little tabloid that I just coudn't put down and couldn't wait to turn the page and get a look-see at what would happen next. I was looking for a fun, girly piece of chick-lit escapism and this book delivered. "
— Denyce, 1/16/2012" Another great book from this author. Fun-filled, easy read. Super summer read. "
— Durinda, 12/29/2011" got bored never finished it but will try it again and some of her other ones "
— Sue-mick, 8/15/2011" This does exactly what it says on the tin - it's typical chick lit, with the typical love story all in there. I enjoyed reading this - it was a nice bit of escapism! "
— Tara, 5/29/2011" An entertaining thriller featuring mobsters and illegal medicines. The flawed protagonist is plausible and partially sympathetic. "
— Dave, 4/6/2011" 3.75 stars <br/>Facial tumors <br/>Went on a bit too long. Didn't like the non ending without a tie up. All the characters in the coverup mess are kind of confusing "
— Denise, 6/10/2010" good. but a some too graphic descriptions for me. "
— Ruth, 2/9/2010" I haven't been able to put this book down! This author is very similar to Michael Crichton (spell?) so I'm hooked. "
— Dana, 4/3/2009" This book is great, I have a hard time putting it down because it really keeps me wondering. "
— Keri, 7/29/2008" A medical mystery. A doctor is drawn into solving the case of people with mysterious growths on their faces. Most people will figure out the "mystery" early. "
— Janet, 2/3/2008" An excellent sequel to an outstanding debut and one of my favorite books of the year so far. Looking forward to book #3 in this series. "
