This was a pretty good murder mystery and a solid who-done-it. There toward the end things were getting pretty outrageous but I still enjoyed reading this book. The cover is nicely done. I enjoyed the main gal, Sally. Sally is likeble and strong. The men in Sally's life are another story.
Synopsis (from barnesandnoble.com): Sally Harrington thinks she's in the best relationship of her life. She's a Connecticut journalist, he's a Manhattan book editor and they're playing for keeps. But in the course of forty-eight hours, Sally finds her love life skidding wildly off the road of respectability, her career spiraling into oblivion, her bank account emptying to zero and herself publicly exposed.
All because of one lover, the last lover, Spencer Hawes.
And now Sally can't even find him. He's disappeared off the face of the earth- run off, Sally believes, with Lilliana Martin, a drop-dead-gorgeous Hollywood actress. Then Lilliana's ex-boyfriend turns up dead-practically on Sally's doorstep.
Sally's young, talented and great-looking- and the problems invading her life seems to come in the form of other talented and great-looking people. Some carry Oscars, some carry Emmys and some carry briefcases-and then there's the crowd that comes crashing in with guns, badges, and indictments.
My thoughts: I enjoyed the book but did find one fatal flaw. Whoever proofread this book obviously did not know what they are doing! There are typo's all over the place! I am not a grammar freak but they were blatantly obvious. Also this is just a personal thought Laura Van Wormer should drop the "Wormer" part of her name. It reminded me off a procedure done in a vet's clinic. All in all though I would recommend this book to a friend.
Also I am not sure but I think this book might be part of a series.
