review 1: Quick-to-read contemporary mystery/thrillers set in NYC. Lead character is Alice Humphrey, a former child star and daughter of a famous film director and his formerly-an-actress wife. Alice is trying to live independently, without her parents' support, and after a spell of unemployment, stumbles upon a job as manager of an art gallery. She hasn't worked there for long when she arrives one morning to find the man who hired her dead in the gallery and the gallery stripped bare. The police zoom in on Alice as a suspect and she's got to get to the bottom of all sorts of secrets if she can exonerate herself.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book over all. I think I'm gonna say 3.5. I didn't go 4 because it went a tad too far at the end. I really didn't see the twist ... morecoming, which is rare. So that kicked it up. However instead of just leaving it the author chose to weave in this unrelated plot (which was annoying) and weakly tie it in. Down a notch. It was a little scooby doo at that point. Overall, it was a page turner, i would like to read more by this author. Great for the airport or the beach. less
