Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Listeners are drawn straight onto the busy set of the "Love of My Life" soap opera, the setting of Palmer's entertaining mystery series, starring head writer Morgan Tyler. There is more adventure off the set than on with a stalker pursuing the lead hunk, Tyler's own tangled romantic life, and a near fatal soap opera celebration in Vegas. Celeste Lawson manages the stretch from narcissistic stars to psychotic stalker with ease. Palmer loves tucking in historic, architectural, and other details, which Lawson conveys easily without losing the pace of the story. Even difficult scenes--from a cast member's battle with a kidney stone to Morgan's desert wanderings after a kidnapping--are plausibly played without excess.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great series, but I think I liked the first two books better,

This review is from: Love You Madly (Daytime Mysteries) (Paperback)
I don't know why, because this was very well plotted and entertaining. I think perhaps that as the third in the series, the novelty is wearing off for me.This series has as its detective-heroine Morgan Tyler, a producer-writer of a hit soap opera -- scratch that -- daytime drama. One of the leads has a problem: he's being stalked by a woman who thinks she is married to him. Morgan feels responsible for her stars since if anything happened to them she'd have a serious production problem. So she gets involved in trying to protect him from this women, although he refuses to involve the police. In the process of dealing with this woman, she ends up going to see someone who not long afterwards ends up the victim of foul play. Although one of her boyfriends, a homicide detective, warns her away from involvement, she IS involved, particularly when a murder attempt is made a few days later on someone else involved with the show. The quick pace, entertaining behind-the-scenes-in-daytime-drama setting, and likeable main character (Morgan) make for a quick and enjoyable read. This is not Elizabeth George, however --like the dramas this author writes about, the emphasis is on entertainment, not high literary or artistic value. I intend to continue reading the series with pleasure, because sometimes I just want to be entertained!

A Real Page Turner,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Love You Madly (Daytime Mysteries) (Paperback)
"Love You Madly" is absolutely the best in the series so far. Linda Palmer has created great characters, and set them in a real page turner of a mystery novel.

LOVE IT SUPREMELY,
By Mister E (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love You Madly (Daytime Mysteries) (Paperback)
Soaps, Stars and now with this latest in the series ... Stalkers!How does Linda Palmer do it? One could say ... "it's a mystery." There's a pitfall inherent in series mysteries--how to continue to spin new plots, keeping the audience guessing, intrigued and involved. Hats off to you, Ms. Palmer, who has done a superb job in this, the third of the series. I thought I was sufficiently charmed by Soap ... er, sorry, Daytime Drama Producer Morgan in the first two books. But the latest plotlines in "Love You Madly" are true delight: Best friend Nancy's wrangle with a horrid soon-to-be stepdaughter; three fabulous men all begging for Morgan's favors (excuse me? Three? In this day and age? Ms. Palmer might be accused of adding an element of fantasy!); the soap star with a mysterious past, completely different than Book #2, "Love Her to Death," and of course, the crazed stalker replete with her own twisted relative. The pacing, plot twists and well-drawn characters just keep getting better. Loved #1 and #2. As for this Book #3, "Love You Madly": Loved it ... supremely. Can't wait for #4!
