Death in the Downline: A Multi-Level Marketing Murder Mystery - Paperback

by Maria Abrams (Author)

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.
