Murder, They Wrote

The Internet is full of plastic surgeons speculating about cosmetic work done on celebrities of a certain age. Pillow lips swollen from too much collagen, overfilled apple cheeks, and foreheads made glacial by Botox aren’t fooling anyone, these armchair analysts say, and they won’t win any prizes for aesthetics.

Such obvious interventions would never have been allowed by Dr. Angela Reynolds, the highly discreet and in-demand cosmetic surgeon at the center of Emma Bamford’s romantic thriller Eye of the Beholder. Those (sniff) “high street” treatments are not her thing. This doctor’s style is subtle, a way of “reversing youthful mistakes…. It’s all about forgetting, or erasing, the past.”
