Beauty Sleep (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789392878565)

Within a couple of minutes of steam, Akshara noticed that her client was coughing and sputtering, almost as if she was going to throw up. Her eyes started to water and her face turned a bright red. Her nose started watering. She looked as though she were gagging. "What happened, madam? Are you unwell? Shall I get you a glass of water?" Her client, Rosy Fernandes, was rummaging desperately in her handbag for something. Finally, she seemed to find what she was looking for - an inhaler, one that Akshara had seen many asthmatic patients use. Rosy was in a state of panic - she thrust some capsule into the inhaler, inhaled from it, struggling to breathe all the while. Nothing seemed to work. She was choking. Alarmed, Akshara turned the steamer off and bolted out of the cabin to fetch Renu. This was a nightmare! By the time Akshara and Renu hurtled into the cabin, Rosy Fernandes was already on the floor, motionless, surrounded by some currency notes that had spilled out of her handbag, its contents all over the place. The events that unfold put everyone's lives at the Spa on hold. Will Inspector Talpade be able to solve this tricky case?
