review 1: Fans of Joan Rivers' brand of dish and humor will undoubtedly rate this more highly than I. Maxie, a woman whose career and family life are much like Rivers interviews a nearly nude, dying starlet on the red carpet at the Awards. She checks into a rehab clinic to see if the starlet had really been clean when she died, as Maxie's beloved daughter's ex-fiance is suspected of involvement in the death.
review 2: This is not a bad book, no work of art, but an easy read. I really did expect more of Ms. Rivers' pungent wit. Instead, it was a pretty ordinary murder mystery with a few one-liners here and there. There wasn't a whole lot of logic concerning the denouement and some of the narrative appeared rushed. All in all, an OK time filler. At the end of the book, ... morethe author mentioned that this was the first in a proposed series. Hopefully, future volumes will be better. less
