Mystery Woman Sleuth
When David Zetrakis, the producer of a popular soap opera, is found shot to death the day after Christmas, Wollie Shelley finds herself caught up in the murder. Zetrakis was one of the many Mr. Wrongs in Wollieβs career as a serial dater, and her friend Joey has emerged as the mediaβs prime suspect. A hot-tempered celebrity who had dated Zetrakis and was fired from his show some years ago, Joey has inherited a million-dollar Klimt from him. But Joey is not the only potential suspect. Zetrakis left lots of nice bequests to the cast and crew of the show. And as the dating correspondent on a talk show called SoapDirt, Wollie, whoβs required to dine and dish with the stars, quickly discovers that the behind-the- scenes intrigues of television soaps are as highly charged as the on-screen shenanigans.
When Wollie is not trying to protect Joey from an onslaught of predatory reporters, sheβs helping her brother make the transition from a mental hospital to a halfway house and negotiating her relationship with Simon, her FBI-agent boyfriend. To top it off, Joey is implicated in a second death and takes off, leaving Wollie to deal with unhappy cops, an unhappy lover, and a killer very unhappy with Wollieβs crime- solving acumen.
