If Bailey Weggins wanted job security, she should have stayed out of
the magazine business. After getting the heave-ho from Gloss,
she reaches out to her old friend Robbie Hart for help. A senior
editor at Now, a sizzling celebrity gossip mag, Robbie would
love nothing more than to see his own boss, Mona Hodges, sent to the
guillotine. Mona runs Now with an iron fist, taking no
prisoners and doing no favors. But Robbie still manages to land
Bailey a job. Then Mona is brutally murdered, and all eyes turn to
Robbie as the prime suspect. But as Bailey soon discovers, just
about everyone wanted Mona dead....
Starred Review: Sharper than a stiletto heel, funnier than a bad dye job and full of fuchsia herrings.' - PW
"'It's common in the mystery genre for sleuth to outweigh story or vice versa. Not here. Readers, especially those who have followed Bailey through the three previous books, are every bit as interested in her welfare (and personal life) as they are in finding out who killed Mona and why. Bailey's back!' - Booklist.
