Thank you, bksfamly!
I liked this first installment in a mystery series. The MC is Bailey Weggins, a freelance writer who specializes in true crime stories at Gloss. Gloss bears a remarkable resemblance to Cosmo which became much more understandable when you read the author's bio...she was editor-in-chief for that mag for years.
When Bailey gets a call from Cat, her friend and editor, about Cat's nanny, she responds and discovers the nanny's body. While the police are also on the case, Cat begs for Bailey's help in looking into the crime. There are plenty of turns and dead ends. And coffee. Dear God, this woman has to be buzzed all the time and it's no wonder she's always complaining about insomnia. *No one* can sleep on this level of caffeination. Not to mention the amount of money that she's drinking, what with all the cappuccinos and espressos purchased.
I did like the writing style and the level of snarky wit displayed. Overall, a good start to the series.
Quote I enjoyed:
Maybe my undeniable physical attraction...and my fears over the fact that I was being stalked by the killer formed a speedball of horniness. (That was a great image and the pharmacist in me loved it.)
