A Multi-Level Marketing Murder Mystery





It's multi-level MURDER in this darkly funny mystery novel about the glamorous world of MLM "huns"–and the dangerous secrets at the top of the pyramid.

It's multi-level murder in this darkly funny mystery novel about the glamorous world of MLM "huns"—and the dangerous secrets at the top of the pyramid.

Drew thought she was destined to become a star journalist in New York City. But now she's back in New Jersey, pushing thirty, newly single, and living with her father.

After a chance encounter, she reconnects with her former best friend, Steph, who married young and never left their hometown. But Steph looks . . . good. She's tanned, glowing, and only wears designer labels. Her secret? A skincare sales opportunity called LuminUS. With nothing left to lose, Drew gets sucked into this glamorous world of downlines, sales parties, and girls' trips.

But when a LuminUS distributor is found dead Drew must uncover the dark secret at the heart of the organization—and save her best friend—before it’s too late.

Gripping, wickedly funny, and a pitch-perfect skewering of pyramid schemes, Death in the Downline is a page-turner that will have readers cheering for Drew until the cathartic conclusion.
