Here we go again! Greeting-card artist Wollie Shelley can't
seem to stay away from trouble -- it follows wherever she
goes and whatever she does. This time around, the FBI has
made her an offer she just can't refuse, since it involves
her schizophrenic brother's future.
After having served on a jury that found the defendant "not
guilty" (if you've served on a jury, you know the
term "innocent" is not used in a court of law), Wollie is
approached by said defendant and offered a job with his
media-training company. He's had his eye on Wollie
throughout the trial and is certain she's perfect for the
position of "social coach" with MediaRex. The money Wollie
is offered for just three month's work will go a long way
in caring for her special brother.
Still, Wollie is all set to refuse when an FBI agent
strongly convinces her to go undercover at MediaRex, which
is suspected of nefarious dealings. The agent threatens to
remove Wollie's brother from the federally subsidized
halfway house he's come to love.
With much trepidation, Wollie takes on the social training
of three foreign celebrities, who are still learning
English, as they try to cope with American customs. As
Wollie learns more about the mysterious death of her
predecessor, she becomes uncomfortable, especially since
she's wearing the girl's clothes and staying in her room.
When the girl's boyfriend is found brutally murdered on the
grounds of the MediaRex compound, things go from bad to
worse for Wollie. She just isn't cut out for this kind of
secretive work, but she can't quit. It doesn't help that
her current lover, Simon, is dealing with his own
undercover FBI mission and can't be there when she needs
him. Hey, she'll handle things the best way she knows how --
and to heck with the rest.
This fourth book featuring the likable, but hapless Wollie
Shelley is even better than the previous novels. She's so
easy to relate to as she courageously confronts daily
problems and figures out ways to cope with whatever life
throws her way. This mystery series is delightfully fun,
clever, suspenseful and a pure joy to read.
Serial dater and greeting-card artist Wollie Shelley
goes undercover in a media-training company suspected of
video piracy, but when a dead body appears on the
company’s property, she’s caught up in a conspiracy that
goes way beyond some stolen DVDs.
Wollie Shelley
isn’t happy about taking the job as a “social coach” at
MediaRex, but the FBI makes her an offer she can’t refuse.
If she agrees to infiltrate the company, they’ll guarantee
that her schizophrenic brother will have a home at the
federally subsidized halfway house he’s come to love. So
Wollie launches into teaching three foreign celebrities
how to cope with the customs of Beverly Hills, improve
their English, and become Oprah-ready. And when a
coyote-chewed corpse appears in the MediaRex compound,
Wollie realizes that her colleagues are concealing some
serious secrets of their own.
