Cover Girl Killer Plot Summary

What happens in Cover Girl Killer from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In London, a cover girl model is found dead, posed exactly as she appeared on the front cover of Wow magazine. The police quickly uncover a troubling pattern: another recently deceased model also posed for the magazine, and then a third follows. All three deaths occur by overdose and are dressed in the same outfit the models wore for the magazine shoot. Although the official notes point to suicides, investigators notice an injection mark under the fingernail of the latest victim, a clue that suggests murder rather than a simple tragedy.
