‘Jaine Austen’s amused take on life, love, sex and LA will delight readers.’ –Carolyn Hart
A gal with a serious Ben & Jerry’s habit can’t afford to be too picky about employment opportunities. So when Beverly Hills socialite Sue Ellen Kingsley offers freelance writer Jaine Austen megabucks to ghostwrite a book of hostess tips, it’s time to sharpen the #2s.
But everything short circuits when Jaine finds Sue Ellen floating face down in her tub, fried by her own blow dryer. The primary suspect: Heidi, Sue Ellen’s stepdaughter, whose account of a mysterious blonde fleeing the scene is greeted with skepticism by Beverly Hills’ finest. Peroxided suspects abound, including a very private masseuse, a jealous nurse, a former game show hostess. . .even a closet blonde with a surprising secret. One of them is hiding a murderous heart behind pricey highlights, and Jaine’s out to expose the killer’s dark roots. Because blondes have enough fun without getting away with murder. . .
‘Levine’s series gets stronger with each book. Her dialogue is realistic yet hilarious, and her vivid characters jump off the page.’ –
