Then Jane's assistant Daniel tells her he's going to marry his fiancée Laura, and he drops a bombshell on Jane about his past that has her stunned. But more than this, an editor friend named Holly tells Jane that she's giving her a new client -- hot new star Goddess, who wants to write a book. Jane accepts, but discovers that Goddess doesn't exactly live up to her name. When there's another death soon after, Jane wants to know what's going on. She also begins to wonder if the two might be connected. But how?
It's when she starts thinking about things she knows, and some things that are practically dropped into her lap, she comes to a devastating conclusion about the killer. Unfortunately, it may be too late for Jane, unless she can save herself somehow...
This is the second book in the series and I must say that I quite enjoyed it as much as the first. Mr. Marshall is indeed a talented writer, and keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering where the story is going to go next.
Jane, finding herself lonely and missing her late husband, tries to pull herself into her work, but things keep getting in the way. 'Things' being dead bodies. Unfortunately, she's once again involved in murder, and it escalates when something occurs to put her on her guard. I shall not say more about that, not wanting to ruin the book for others who have not read it.
If you have not, I recommend that you do. It is full of twists and unexpected happenings, and there is a subplot that is interesting, to say the least; and watching Jane put everything together is worth reading the book alone. Ah, it is these twists that one has to watch for; they are the gist and meat of the book, and looking for them has you come to the same conclusion as Jane, although not so soon as to think you have got it all.
In the end, when we discover the murderer, one never knows what goes on in the mind of a sociopath; nor what one will strive for at any cost. I look forward to the next in this series. Highly recommended.… (meer)
