Mystery Woman Sleuth

Bailey Weggins, reporter for the gossip rag Buzz, covers the celebrity crime beat. Usually it's her job that gets her into trouble, but this time it's an old flame.

Chris Wickersham, a much younger man Bailey had a brief fling with a year ago, is the star of a new TV crime drama, Morgue. When Chris' friend from the show, Tom, disappears, Chris calls Bailey for help. Something about Tom interests Bailey; he seems like such a nice guy, she decides to help Chris locate him. And it doesn't hurt that her feelings for Chris are being rekindled.

Following a series of leads, Bailey finds Tom's body. Now her curiosity has gotten the best of her, so she decides to investigate and find Tom's killer. Secrets and scandals abound as Bailey digs deeper into Tom's past, leaving her with more than a few suspects. When one of her prime suspects is also killed, Bailey begins to see that there's more to Tom's murder than meets the eye.

White continues this mystery series with a rather bland performance. I can't say that I disliked it, but was just rather unimpressed.

SUMMARY

Whenever a celebrity throws a phone, crashes a car, or kills a spouse, celebrity journalist Bailey Weggins is there to cover it for the gossip magazine Buzz. Now, the new television show Morgue is the talk of the town, and just as Bailey starts reminiscing about her brief summer fling with the show's gorgeous star, Chris Wickersham, he calls. But Chris isn't thinking about rekindling their old flame. His friend and fellow actor on the show has gone missing, and while nobody else seems to be alarmed, Chris can't believe his friend would just run off while on the brink of stardom. When Bailey starts to investigate as a favor for Chris, she soon realizes there is much more to the disappearance than meets the eye, and unless she can unearth the truth, she could become the inspiration for Morgue's next episode.
