The first night a destructive storm hits, all power is lost, and one of their classmates, Orchid L'Toile, meets a fate they consider worse than death: bloody murder without adequate makeup while naked in the bathtub. They must find the killer or become victims themselves. Their sleuthing takes a few wrong turns. Roz falls in love and Ruby Jean falls--off a cliff. All the Sun City Sluts reveal their secrets and Paige, with a plan, patiently knits. And knits. And knits. But the Sun City Sluts solve the murder while living up to their creed: Men come and go, but girlfriends are forever.
