Wisecracking pen-for-hire Jaine Austen is backโand sheโs about to discover that working on the set of a Hollywood sitcom is no laughing matterโฆ Jaine still hasnโt found a good manโor a way to keep all those sugary snacks from going straight to her hips. Butโ with a little help from her best friend Kandiโsheโs finally landed a gig as a sitcom writer! True, Muffy โn Me isnโt going to win any Emmys, but for Jaine, being on staff sure beats writing boring brochures and bad resumes. Until the plot thickensโwith murderโฆ
Jaine figures the trouble all started when Muffy โn Meโs hottest star, gorgeous Quinn Kirkland, seduced the head writerโwhose husband also works on the show. But when Quinnโs caught in bed with the barely-legal actress who plays his niece, things really heat upโand his many jealous girlfriends start to figure things outโฆ
So when the no-good heartthrob drops dead after nibbling a poisoned doughnut, Jaine isnโt terribly surprised. But who could have done it? A competitive co-star and a couple of scorned lovers top Jaineโs list of suspects, but the police have zeroed in on her man-crazy pal Kandi. Now Jaine has to figure out who finally stopped Quinnโs cheatinโ heartโbefore her best friend ends up behind barsโฆ
