About this ebook
On April 10, 2001, Sandra Baker, a recently separated, forty-five-year-old mother of two, went for a facelift—and a new lease on life. But the nurse anesthetist was a woman from her past. And Sandra's future was in jeopardy...
Decades before, in a world of high school cliques and competition, Sally Jordan Hill had a crush on a guy whose attentions turned toward Sandra. Little did Sandra know how jealous Sally might have been...
Once Nurse Sally had Sandra in her care, she administered a lethal dose of the painkiller Fentanyl. Within hours, Sandra was brain dead—and her death was ruled a medical mistake. But earlier, Sally's coworkers heard her say this: That's the woman who stole my boyfriend in high school. And soon, a determined detective would find new clues to convince a judge that Sandra's death was no accident. ...
Beauty Sleep is the true story of glamor, jealousy ... and cold-blooded murder.

I got this book at Goodwill for .99 and I think I paid too much. It was boring and repetitive; it looked like there were whole passages that were just cut and pasted into another chapter. At times, the "author" stated things like "information found on the web said this"... No website information was listed, so who knows where the info came from?
There was nothing in the book about the supposed 30 year rivalry that was played yp on the cover of the book. A few people mentioned that they didn't think it existed, but that was it. It was a waste of time and I threw the book in the trash when I was done. There was also no resolution at the end. Did the trial happen, was she convicted? I'll Google now and find out... the book sure didn't tell me.
