Ultimate Concealer, A Toni Diamond Mystery (Toni Diamond Mysteries) Paperback – May 20, 2014

Book two of the Toni Diamond series is yet another adventure. In this book, Toni's ex husband comes around for none other than money and of course takes this time to "get to know his daughter". So, Toni's daughter Tiffany has never met her father and like all children they do wonder about their father from time to time and so when she gets a call from her father she is all for taking a trip to Las Vegas without her moms knowing. Of course like all good mothers she Toni finds out and books a trip out there to allow her daughter space but also protect her. Good thing Toni showed up because of course yet again there is another murder investigation and it just happens to involve the people in Toni's life. Regardless of her feelings for her ex husband she of course chooses to help out for the sake of her daughter, plus who can keep there nose out of doing a little detective work of their own. We all know that sometimes we do better than the police. In the end all these work out but definitely didn't see coming who the murderer is. And in this unplanned trip Tiffany gets to know her father.

Not high literature, but a fun read. Good for some distraction from your everyday life. Somewhat predictable. This is the second book in the Toni Diamond series which I purchased (the first e-book in the series I got as a free e-book). I may find it funnier than most folks because I'm also in direct sales (I sell handbags not cosmetics) and have met people like the main character Toni and her mother and dealt with the marketing/structure of direct sales. I did not really like her ex-husband Dwyane or her daughter Tiffany characters in this book, but how funny the main character Toni is made it still fun to read.

Mothers of teenage girls may be able to relate with the challenges Toni faces as her daughter runs away (to Vegas of all places) to find her ne'er do well father. Warren has a great sense of the ridiculous and her depiction of the direct sales make up industry is funny, but also rather heartwarming. Toni's love interest takes back stage in this story which is as it should be as this is a story centers on how ex spouses set aside their grievances to give their kids a good life

Hilarious!! Many twists and turns to the plot. (Although I did guess who was the killer but was still pleasantly surprised upon learning it.)I love makeup and I love mysteries. This combines them both in a superb way!If you've ever sold Mary Kay or Avon, this book is for you! Well, it is even for people who have not - as I have not. I do have friends who are Avon Ladies or Mary Kay reps, and I think they would enjoy it tremendously.I loved this book so much, I downloaded the sequel. Nancy Warren, please finish the third book -- and more!!!! I love reading book series, and eagerly await each new book. :)

This 2nd installment let us see more of Toni's past and what a bullet she dodged by not staying with her first husband. Definitely a fun read! Going to start the next one now!

This was so good. The first one was good too. It was a bit different from what I am used to, but my oh my, the way this book was written was fantastic! I am ready for the next one.

I enjoyed this adventure. Simply could not put it down. If you're in the market for whimsy, fun,long distance romance, then Toni Diamond is your woman. Nancy Warren's writing is so easy-going but not cliche. She has a way of making you want to know"what on earth is Toni going to do next?" Her heroine is human and flawed but always trying to make it better. I like Toni Diamond and you will too.

Nice fun mystery. Toni is a Lady Bianca (Mary Kay) saleslady who helps solve mysteries. I like the characters (mother, daughter, Toni, boyfriend), the Lady Bianca part is fun (cool color names; daughter's style, etc.) and the mysteries are a stretch, but fun to read. Got the first one free, but paid for the second one -- worth the money :)

When Toni is featured in a press article about highly successful business women Tiffany's father, Dwayne Diamond, appears out of the woodwork wanting money. Dwayne ran out on her when Tiffany was a newborn and he's never paid a cent of child support or shown any interest in his daughter.. until now.Tiffany is swayed by Dwayne's version of events; he didn't leave them but Toni threw him out, and Toni has prevented him from seeing or contacting her. So when he invites Tiffany to visit him in Vegas she takes a sleepover with a friend and heads off on a bus minus her phone so Toni can't track her.But Toni is no fool, she knows that Dwayne is using Tiffany in an attempt to get money from her, wiser than he realises she decides to let Tiffany see her father's true colours for herself although she's on her way to Vegas ready for the fallout.The fallout is bigger than she could predict however with Dwayne first being beaten up by his bosses goons in front of Tiffany and the very next day being arrested for murdering his boss after a late night meeting.Much against her will she finds herself bailing Dwayne out, with Tiffany's feelings and her house on the line she decides that her only hope to protect Tiffany from realising that Dwayne is a no good bum is to solve the case herself. With Luke providing a link to the LVPD she's determined to track down the killer and get Dwayne out of her life for good.

Enjoyed this book and found it easy to follow and read and without too many characters or names to remember.Looking forward to book 3.

Toni Diamond is a great saleswoman and detective, hope there's more to come, these stories are great, can't put them down once I'd got started.

A good quick read that once I'd started I had to finish straightaway even though I had guessed who had done it etc.

A really enjoyable read in the Toni Diamond series. A well balanced mix of mystery an intrigue.I enjoyed it all.
