Working for a tabloid scandal sheet, Simone Glass sets out to uncover the real story behind the scenes after a soap opera star commits suicide and her emotionally unstable assistant insists that the death had really been murder, but someone else will do anything to hide the truth.

This is a new-to-me author that I found during a library booksale a while back.

The main character of this book reminded me a little of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum because she is a young woman who lost her job and is embarking on a new profession. Although it is a new job, it is one which she studied, a journalist. The paper she is working for is a tabloid and her step in the door and helps her pay her bills. Simone Glass, the main character, is entertaining as she roots around in a garbage dumpster and finds a clue to a murder of a famous actress. The story takes off from there and you get a little story and some misadventures in Los Angeles. This, I discover, is one of the author’s earlier titles. I have another more recent title on my bookshelf to read and am curious to see how the author's writing style develops.

Thank you, DVG! I haven't heard of this author, but I love the Stephanie Plum series. Thank you for thinking of me! I have some books I want to send you too.

My Review: I have never read anything from this author and really enjoyed the characters and the story. All the Hollywood craziness and the main character working for a tabloid. The mystery takes twists and turns that are unbelievable. I will look for more books from this author.
