    About this ebook

    Maggie Mars used to be a journalist on the East Coast, but now she's come to L.A. to make a name for herself as a screenwriter... and maybe live her fantasy of someday meeting Jack Nicholson. When Roger Urban, her long-time mentor and friend, is found dead—in a splashy red garter and bra—Maggie is determined to find his killer.


    Helping Maggie are her legal eagle of a boyfriend and her batty father. Not to mention an L.A. cop who thinks Maggie just might identify the killer. Because of her curiosity and stubbornness—or because he is her ex-boyfriend?
    Maggie's always wanted to see her name in lights—and sometimes a girl gets what she wants. She might find out who killed Roger and become a hot news item.

    As the next victim.

      I got tons of flashbacks to DATING IS MURDER and SAVAGE GARDEN while reading this. Was it the LA setting? The constant driving and descriptions of cars? Though this was a murder mystery, I was in no hurry to see it end and have the crime solved. The victim was not a sympathetic character, and the heroine had so many funny side stories and tangential repartees that reading didn't feel compulsive like a good whodunit should, it was more like I'll keep on reading to hear more funny one-liners. I loved the roommate, Leroy, and the heroine in the heroine's movie script, the crime wasn't that gripping to me.
