Alexis Peterson should be used to drama. After all, she is
a regular on The Yearning Tide, a very successful soap
opera. However, her main problem is Marcy Blanchard, the
new head writer for the show. It seems that Marcy still
holds a grudge against Alexis for stealing her boyfriend
two decades earlier. It is no surprise when Alexis is told
that she is in a scene, but she has no script, so she is
off to confront Marcy about the missing script.
Unfortunately, Alexis comes across a dead Marcy, one who
has been bludgeoned to death with her Emmy. To make
matters worse, the cast is willing to tell the police about
the very loud argument between Alexis and Marcy the
previous week, and that Alexis threw the alleged murder
weapon at her nemesis. Is there anyone who thinks that she
is not guilty? How can she prove her innocence?
Alexis has always liked crime shows, so she knows that she
is the most likely suspect. The police do not seem to be
any closer to finding the true murderer, and she is
determined not to go to jail. She just needs to deflect
the suspicion to someone else. The down side is that
almost everyone in the cast had motive to murder Marcy as
she was not a well-liked woman. Alexis's problem is that
the more people she questions, the more and more she
believes their side of the story. She always thought that
she was a good judge of truth, but she cannot seem to
figure out which of her cast mates may be lying to her.
Are they that good at acting? Or is she looking in the
wrong place for a murderer?
Eileen Davidson has crafted an entertaining mystery. Her
role on a daytime drama allows her to give the readers a
fantastic insight into the inner workings of soap operas.
Alexis Peterson is a warm, lovable heroine that everyone
will be cheering on. Although she is a veteran actress,
she is a novice sleuth as is obvious by her efforts to
clear her name. The rest of the characters are enjoyable,
and you have quite a list to choose from as the murderer.
DEATH IN DAYTIME is a fabulous mystery and the first of
what is bound to be a fun, engaging series.
She’s bold. She’s beautiful. And she’s about to go to
jail for murder...
Soap opera actress Alexis
Peterson has starred in the nation’s top soap opera for
almost 20 years. But her career takes a nose-dive when Marcy
Blanchard is hired as the head writer. Little did Alexis
realize that Marcy’s been holding a grudge all these
years—and is ready to take her revenge.
So when
Marcy turns up dead, bludgeoned to death with her Emmy®, no
one is surprised that Alexis is the prime suspect. No one
except Alexis, that is, who knows she has to take matters
into her own hands if she wants to avoid being arrested for
a crime she didn’t commit—and becoming the real killer’s
next victim...
