What a huge let down...
In this second installment, we follow Dr Maggie Walsh, WYME's radio talk show host as she gets to assist with the writing of a movie script, filmed right in her town of Cypress Grove, FL.
Things turn haywire on the first day of filming when the star of the film, Adrianna, is shot and killed by her co-star with what seemed to be a prop gun. With eye-witnesses everywhere, and hundreds of people on the set, ANYONE could have tampered with the prop to ensure Adrianna's starlight was put out.
After just feeling ho-hum about the first book, I had higher expectations for the second. However Maggies mother is extremely irritating with her washed up actress routine. The constant celebrity name dropping and movie references got old and stale quick. The book was about 150 pages too long, and Maggie never really seemed to do any sleuthing per-se. SHe was just basically was invited to a party and the killer showed up, out to get her. I figured out the killer at the very beginning of the book and skipped over 10 chapters only to confirm my guess on the killer. The plot just dragged and dragged. Even on her "work" radio interviews, I skimmed those parts too, as they were completely irrelevant to the plot.
Ive decided to let this series go for good. Maggie is not very interesting and her mother is a whack-job. if i could give this book 0 stars, I would. This is turning out to be a below-average series for me and i would not reccomend it.
