This is decribed as a Hitchcock type thriller and it is. Grabs you at once and keeps you enthralled to the end.

Helpful Score: 2
This book was great, I had a hard time putting it down and read it in 3 days, i gave it to a friend at work and she said she is having the same trouble putting it down we always discuss who we thought the bad guy was and that's what is great about Graham's books somtimes its the person you least expect to be the bad guys. I give it a 5 star rating.

Heather Graham is always a compelling read no matter what era she is writing about. This is the first in a new trilogy and are we in for a enjoyable time.

Romance, mystery -- Good book
First novel in a thrilling new trilogy, set in the midst of a popular daytime soap opera. Enter a world where fantasy and reality are difficult to separate.

Soap star Jennifer Connolly has returned to her childhood home to help care for her mother, legendary actress Abby Sawyer, who is suffering from Parkinson's disease. Jennifer is surprised when she learns that Abby's stepson, actor Conar Markham, will also be living at the house. In fact, he is joining the same soap opera that Jennifer currently stars in. Abby might be sick, but she wants Jennifer living under her room because she thinks someone wants to kill her daughter. She has asked Conar to watch over Jennifer at work and at home. Conar and Jennifer have never gotten along. How are they supposed to live and work together?
Well, where do I start. I really didn't like this book. First off, I listened to the audiobook narrated by Paige McKinney. It was awful. Every character had the same voice, no inflection. Sometimes she sounded robotic. I stopped listening and downloaded the library book, but reading it wasn't much better. The dialogue was terrible. In my mind, I was reading it just like the audiobook narrator.
The romance between Conar and Jennifer was boring. The suspense wasn't much better. The villain was killing actresses using the methods straight out of Alfred Hitchcock movies. That and the fact that the setting was at a soap opera gave me hope that I would like the mystery. Instead, the plot was straight out of a Scooby-Doo mystery. I knew the killer as soon as the character was introduced. The saving grace to this book was when the actors talked about their characters and their crazy storylines. That was actually funny, especially the pregnancy that lasted two years. My rating: 1.5 Stars.

Sopa star Jennifer Connolly has just stepped into her most crucial role. Playing it the wrong way could cost her career - maybe even her life,. For a twisted killer is lurking behind the scenes, claiming his victims in a series of Hitchcock-style murders. And not even the strong arms of her Valentine Valley co-star, Conar, canmake her feel safe again. Because high above Hollywood;s roling hills, Jennifer can feel the eyes of a stranger, watching her every move.....
Almost as bad as "Dying to Have Her"....
