4.0 out of 5 stars Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave!, June 10, 2006
This review is from: The Good Girl's Guide to Murder (A Debutante Dropout Mystery) (Hardcover)
In the 2nd Debutante Dropout mystery, Andy Kendricks finds herself in a difficult situation. She is designing a website for Marilee Mabry's new TV show, The Sweet Life. Normally, Andy prefers to work for non-profit groups, and tends to shy away from the elite crowd to which she was born. Andy is talked into the job by her mother, Cissy Kendricks, the only close friend of the diva talk show host.

And things have been going a little awry for Marilee lately. Nobody seems to like the tantrum prone star, and incidents are happening with increasing frequently on set. A brown recluse spider bites a staff member, a microphone falls on another, and her daughter is poisoned. Is someone trying to kill Marilee or trying to ruin her new show? Could it be the boy toy that both Marilee and her daughter, Kendall, are involved with? Or is it the ex-husband who left Marilee before she became rich and famous? Or is it one of the numerous staff members that Marilee has run off or ticked off?

Once again Andy jumps into the mystery and tries to help. When a murder occurs, Andy feels she knows exactly who is to blame. But finding the suspect becomes a bit trickier. Does she have the right person in mind? Will she help the police locate the correct suspect before anyone else becomes a victim?

This series is one of my current favorites. I think Andy is a highly entertaining character. Not having endless amounts of money myself, it is sometimes difficult for me to relate to her chosen lifestyle of living way below her means. I do admire it, however, and feel that it makes the character much more believable. (I would, however, suggest that she get a vehicle with good air conditioning. Why suffer?)

Just a note on this series. The murder does not happen right away in the book. The author spends time developing the characters before killing them off. So, if you like a mystery that has the death occur quickly, you may be a little disappointed. However, the mysteries are good, and the characters strong. This book is a great addition to the series, and I look forward to upcoming books.

The first book in the series is called "Blue Blood". Enjoy!
