About this audiobook
Jaine has been hired by uber-pushy stage mom Heather Van Sant to write lyrics for her daughter Taylor's song in the talent competition for the Miss Teen Queen America pageant. It's different from anything Jaine has done before, but if nothing else, she's looking forward to a free weekend in a swanky hotel and a chance to see what really goes on backstage at a beauty pageant. But the hotel is a dump, the cattiness is out of control, an Candace-the perfectly-coiffed, whip-cracking pageant director-is making even Jaine's life miserable. When Candace's assistant Amy is found bludgeoned to death with a silver tiara, there are more suspects than sequins on a pageant gown-and Heather is first on the list.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Hilarious as usual. Always a fine ride with Jaine!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I received a free paperback copy of Death by Tiara (A Jaine Austen Mystery Series Book 13) by Laura Levine from the author in exchange for a fair review.I gave this funny to read cozy mystery five stars. Jaine Austen is an interesting & well developed character. She moves from one comical disaster to another in her professional & personal life. There were times I actually had to smother my laughter to keep from waking my husband while I read another chapter late at night.I will read more of the Jaine Austen books now.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My friend has been trying to get me to read Laura Lavene’s book for months now. But something always came up in my TBR before I could get to one. Well, now I have read one, this book, and I am a fan! I have a lot of catching up to do!I fell in love with author Lavene’s writing style during the prologue of death by tiara. First off, she is hysterical! I knew if the mystery in this story was half as well written as the comedy, it would be a fantastic read…and it was! I spent hours immersed in mystery, a teen beauty pageant, and laughing until I cried. I’m so happy I wasn’t drinking my soda when I read protagonist, Jaine, make a plug for book 14 of this series, KILLING CUPID, or I would have done a spit take that would have done any sitcom actor proud. As for the mystery, is was well plotted and had me second guessing myself. To me, the ending of this book was truly unexpected. I just didn’t see the answer to this whodunit coming. I could find no fault in this book whatsoever. All I found was gifted writing that flowed across the pages so fluidly, I never wanted the story to end. DEATH BY TIARA may have been my first book in the Jaine Austen Mystery series, but it will not be my last!
