American Library Association’s Booklist:
“This follow-up to Exposé is an enjoyable, fast-paced mystery full of sex, murder, and Mafia intrigue. Sally Harrington’s life as a journalist who splits her time between her hometown newspaper in Castleford, Connecticut, and a national television news station in New York has settled into a humdrum rhythm–her career going nowhere and her love life with New York book editor Spencer Hawes having lost much of its initial passion and furor. When she joins Spencer for a high-profile party in Los Angeles, she is just hoping to meet Liam Neesom but instead finds herself quickly entangled with Lilliana Martin, a rising star. After the party, Lilliana and Spencer mysteriously disappear. Then Lilliana’s ex-boyfriend, Cliff Yarlen, a Hollywood union boss, pays Sally a visit at her Connecticut home, and she’s soon drawn into a bicoastal murder and Mob-related crime investigation. Van Wormer matches Hollywood glitz with small-town New England common sense and good-natured traditional values to create an engaging and exciting tale that manages not to get overly caught up in the gossipy glamour of Hollywood pop culture. Full of unexpected plot twists and likable characters, Van Wormer’s latest is heartening and pleasing.”
