Kira hears a noise and finds a very dead naked man. She was not supposed to be there and now someone knows she was there. Evan Hobbes is a Disney star but once an obscene video comes out, his credibility is gone. The video was a fake, but it was too good. Seth Lehman is a talent agent. He and his girlfriend Amber are arguing again. He is always on demand with Ethan and Amber is tired of him being gone all the time. Seth’s boss, Rebecca, is on him every minute of the day. She is one woman who cannot be satisfied. Daphna Love is a superstar actress and once Seth’s girlfriend. Seth threatened to leave Rebecca’s firm and sign Daphna to a contract.
Melody and Sam are back. She is playing music again and Sam has a letter written by a distant ancestor. Detective Margaret Nolan has finally acknowledged her relationship with Remy Beaudreau. When Evan’s body is found in rubble after an earthquake, Margaret is called in to investigate whether it was a suicide, accident, or murder.
The book has a steady pace, the characters are well developed and complex, and it is written in the third person point of view. Margaret is a strong woman and has grown in strength since the first book. If you like police procedurals, a whodunit with a couple of twists, you will enjoy this book.
