OVER HER DEAD BODY
Kate White

Reviewed by Tanzey Cutter

Mystery Woman Sleuth | Mystery Amateur Sleuth

For the past several years, Bailey Weggins has been under contract with Gloss to write crime and human-interest stories for the magazine, which is headed by her friend, Cat. With slumping sales, Cat has to make some changes in the focus of the magazine, so Bailey finds herself without a job.

However, Bailey's job search is short-lived following drinks with her old friend Robby Hart, who's now an editor at the hot celebrity gossip rag, Buzz. Robby wants Bailey to write about celebrity crime in a more journalistic way, so as to improve the magazine's reputation. The head of Buzz is Mona Hodges, and she's a force to be reckoned with in the industry. When Mona is found murdered in her office late one night, the prime suspect becomes Robby. It doesn't take Bailey long to become involved in clearing her friend's name and in solving the crime, like she's done in the past. Of course, there's a long list of probable suspects, as it seems everyone Mona ever knew wanted her dead.

Once again, the intrepid Bailey Weggins comes out a winner, even if her life is sometimes in chaos. In this fourth installment of the series, White has written another page- tuner with a great cast of supporting characters.

SUMMARY

Talk about rapid turnover-in a matter of days Bailey Weggins gets axed from one New York magazine and hired by another. Her new job at Buzz, a weekly filled with sizzling gossip, has Bailey covering celebrity crime, including the starlet who got caught stuffing Fendi purses down her pants and the aging hunk who shot his lover with a Magnum. And Bailey doesn't have to look far for her next story: she finds her boss, Mona Hodges, gasping her last breath after being bludgeoned with a blunt object. A raging tyrant, Mona made Buzz a top 'zine but racked up an impressive enemy list along the way. Everyone from a chubby singer she dubbed "Fat Chance" to a mail guy she once reamed out would be glad to see Mona six feet under. And Bailey Weggins intends to get the scoop on whodunit even though one of her closest friends is at the top of the suspect list. Now, with her strappy sandals in one hand and her cell phone in the other, Bailey's out hunting for clues everywhere from the mean streets of Brooklyn's Little Odessa to a posh company picnic in the Hamptons. In just about a New York minute she's got a crush on a sexy filmmaker-and some scary insight into her boss's murder. The first can give her the hot summer fling she's itching to have. The second can get her killed...
