Killer Ratings: A Susan Kaplan Mystery by Lisa Seidman

Los Angeles is no stranger to glamour, celebrity . . . and murder. When Susan Kaplan moves to L.A. to become a TV writer, she's thrilled to be hired as a writers' assistant on the well-regarded but low-rated TV series Babbitt & Brooks. The last thing she expects, however, is that she'd find herself working for the beautiful yet seriously neurotic Rebecca Saunders, the show's less-than-competent associate producer who may or may not have gotten the job by sleeping with Babbitt & Brooks' demanding creator and executive producer, Ray Goldfarb. And Susan definitely doesn't expect to find murdered Rebecca's body in her office at the studio early one morning. When the police learn that Rebecca torpedoed Susan's writing career shortly before her death, Susan becomes their number one suspect. Determined to prove her innocence and find the murderer, Susan discovers that all her colleagues have secrets they would kill to protect. From producers to writers to stars, it seems that the hopes and dreams of nearly everyone associated with the show were being threatened by Rebecca. Despite the danger to her own life, Susan remains determined to find Rebecca's killer and in the process unmasks the dirty little secrets behind the making of a primetime television series. She learns that real life behind the camera is far more dramatic than the fictional one in front of it. Lisa Seidman draws on her thirty years of experience as a successful television writer to take the reader behind the scenes and show how the struggle to achieve high ratings truly can lead to murder. "Lisa Seidman weaves together vivid characters, delightful mystery, and the wry wit of a true TV insider to create a delicious tale of reckless ambition and literal and figurative backstabbing that will not only entertain you, but change your relationship with your television forever."?Sheryl J. Anderson, author of Killer Heels "In Killer Ratings, Lisa Seidman, a television writer herself, provides a thrill ride through the ambition-ridden and ego-saturated world of TV production, where there is more death and drama behind the camera than in front of it.?Sue Ann Jaffarian, author of the Odelia Grey mysteries "Take an edgy TV production team, add a sprinkling of fierce ambition and finish off with a large handful of paranoia and you have the perfect setting for murder."?Annette Meyers, Author of the Smith and Wetzon series "Fascinating. Fast-paced. Fun. Lisa Seidman's debut mystery goes backstage at a TV production company where pride, passion, and peril lead to Killer Ratings."?Carolyn Hart, author of the Death on Demand series "Lisa Seidman's page-turning whodunnit . . . perfectly captures the backstage world of a struggling TV series where appearances are deliberately deceiving and ambition can be absolutely criminal."?Mimi Leahey, script editor, All My Children "The drama going on behind the scenes at a TV show is always juicier than what's on the screen, and Lisa Seidman masterfully combines three of my favorite things: TV, mystery, and a good story well told."?Paula Cwikly, writer, The Young and the Restless Lisa Seidman began her television career writing for the primetime serials such as Falcon Crest, Dallas, and Knots Landing, as well as Cagney & Lacy, and Murder, She Wrote. She received an Emmy nomination for her work on Guiding Light as well as Writers Guild nominations for Guiding Light and Sunset Beach. Lisa spent two years as an elected member of the Writers Guild of America, West Board of Directors and wrote for the daytime serial Days of Our Lives for which she was awarded an Emmy. She is currently teaching TV writing at USC's School of Cinematic Arts, in addition to writing.

Black Friday – the official opening of the holiday shopping season – and Patrice Marcum is stuck in the middle of her local superstore with a crying infant, a near-hysterical desire to just abandon the diapers and milk she desperately needs, and the snowstorm of the century dumping half a foot of snow on the parking lot outside. She needs a miracle. The little old lady seems sweet, but there was no way Patrice was going to leave three-month-old Jeremy with a stranger. She looks outside at the snow-covered parking lot and sees yet another distressed shopper’s cart topple over in the drifts. The old lady senses her distress and volunteers to call a store employee to help watch over Jeremy while Patrice gets her car. The older gentleman, wearing a store badge with the name “Ron,” seems too good to be true. What could be safer? Less than five minutes later, after brushing the snow off the van and driving across the crowded and snow-packed parking lot, Patrice pulls up in front of the store. Jeremy is not there. Pushing back panic, she rushes into the store and looks around. Jeremy is not inside either. She pushes through the line at Customer Service; the associate calls Ron on the intercom and issues a Code Adam. When Ron appears and he’s only seventeen years old, Patrice realizes the worst. “Oh God! They’ve taken my baby!” Mary O’Reilly, private investigator, is decorating her office for the holiday season when the newly installed bell over her door jingles. She looks over to see a six-year-old boy standing next to her desk. His name is Joey Marcum and he wants to hire Mary to find his baby brother. Mary nodded. “Okay, Joey, but I’ll want to work with the police on this one. Do you have any problems with that?” Joey paused. “No, I guess you can talk to them.” “That’ll be helpful.” “But you can’t tell my mom you’re working for me,” he said, “Promise?” “Yes, I promise.” Joey shrugged. “I don’t think she’d understand, seeing that I’m dead, you know.”

Secrets.� We all have 'em, and in Bittersweet Hollow there's one person who wants to uncover every last one of them.� That busybody is real estate agent Grace Potter, about to tie up loose ends on her most recent real estate deal, the sale of the Bittersweet Inn.� Elderly Olivia Waterford is selling the stately old Victorian bed & breakfast for health reasons and it's taken the insistent urging of her two daughters, Harper Reed and Lonnie Carmichael, to get the Inn on the market. It's October and after twenty years of local tradition, this will be the last Pumpkin Patch Festival Olivia will host on the grounds of the Bittersweet Inn.� A few days before the Festival, Grace's prying around town uncovers enough dirty linen to completely ruin several not-so-innocent residents.� If she broadcasts her knowledge, and she will, it will shatter the career and the marriage of young, handsome Pastor Hart who fell from grace with his pants down; she'll wreck Mickey O'Connell, the businessman whose wife will rake him over the coals and take everything he owns once she learns how his cheating gives new meaning to the phrase 'family affair'; and by shaking loose a skeleton hidden long ago in Roy and Glennis Turnbuckle's closet, she will certainly cause their middle-aged daughter's wedding plans to crash and burn before she can finally walk down the aisle with the only man who ever wanted to marry her. Her victims know Grace won't keep her mouth shut for long but before she can start her smear campaign and throw them all to the wolves, one of them refuses to pay Grace the pound of flesh her threats have demanded and Grace learns the hard way that the really calamitous thing about opening your big mouth is the way it provokes someone to come along and shut it.� With the local cops off and running in the wrong direction to find Grace's killer, Harper begins her own sleuthing, uncovering compelling evidence that the locals with ample motive had plenty of opportunity for murder.� Harper lays her own plan to catch the killer.� But well-laid plans can go awry, and Harper finds herself face-to-face with Grace's murderer, someone who will gladly kill again. ..."Most people would try and avoid running into Grace face-to-face so they wouldn't have to talk to her," Jack said. Harper agreed most people would probably do just that.� But someone did run into her and then bashed her in the head.� Very face-to-face. �

Shortly after Glenda Wheatley had fulfilled her duties as the star witness in the notorious murder trial that has Houstonians riveted to their TV?s, she had an opportunity to sell her business. She immediately considers an early retirement. After all it?s not that early and she is really ready to lead a simpler, more relaxed life somewhere far away from her unwelcomed fame. She decides to tour the country, visiting all those places she always meant to see, staying in various locations for days, or weeks or even months if she feels like it, before finding the perfect place to spend her twilight years. She sells her home, puts her furnishings in storage, packs her car with the essentials and announces to all her friends and relatives she?ll be stopping by to visit them soon, and heads out into the world at large. MURDER MOST MYSTERIOUS, the first book in the Glenda at Large Mystery series catches up with her when she arrives in a small beach town on Oregon?s Central Coast. She has agreed to house sit for six months while the owners visit their children, in Greece. Glenda has a long bucket list of things to do and places to visit in Oregon and expects to cross off many of them while she?s living there rent free. It?s unfortunate that two events threaten her plans and almost convince her to abandon her commitment to stay before she even unpacks her car. The first is her encounter in the thick fog on the beach that first morning. When the figure first appeared she thought it was a pile of rocks. Then it moved. The eerie voice insisted Glenda had been sent to Perch Cove by the Spirit Guides even though Glenda knew she actually came because of her agreement to house sit. The old, strange woman introduced herself as Zylda, the Psychic, who lived only a few houses away from where Glenda was staying. Glenda tried to convince Zylda she had the wrong person, but when they parted ways, she had reluctantly agreed to visit Zylda to discuss the issue further. The second event was the murder discovered on the fishing pier, beside Bill?s Place where everyone hung out each morning for breakfast. Perch Cove was a very small, picturesque town perched on the bluff above the beach. It had no crime to mention and it had never had a murder. Why now? Glenda had only been eating in the restaurant. She tried to convince herself it had nothing to do with her. The victim was a stranger in town. The murderer was unknown. Still she was very tempted to forget about unpacking. She could back her car out of the garage and be on her way out of town with no one the wiser. If she could only forget her promise to the owners of the house?

When Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bill Dedman noticed in 2009 a grand home for sale, unoccupied for nearly sixty years, he stumbled through a surprising portal into American history. Empty Mansions is a rich mystery of wealth and loss, connecting the Gilded Age opulence of the nineteenth century with a twenty-first-century battle over a $300 million inheritance. At its heart is a reclusive heiress named Huguette Clark, a woman so secretive that, at the time of her death at age 104, no new photograph of her had been seen in decades. Though she owned palatial homes in California, New York, and Connecticut, why had she lived for twenty years in a simple hospital room, despite being in excellent health? Why were her valuables being sold off? Was she in control of her fortune, or controlled by those managing her money? Dedman has collaborated with Huguette Clark’s cousin, Paul Clark Newell, Jr., one of the few relatives to have frequent conversations with her. Dedman and Newell tell a fairy tale in reverse: the bright, talented daughter, born into a family of extreme wealth and privilege, who secrets herself away from the outside world. Huguette was the daughter of self-made copper industrialist W. A. Clark, nearly as rich as Rockefeller in his day, a controversial senator, railroad builder, and founder of Las Vegas. She grew up in the largest house in New York City, a remarkable dwelling with 121 rooms for a family of four. She owned paintings by Degas and Renoir, a world-renowned Stradivarius violin, a vast collection of antique dolls. But wanting more than treasures, she devoted her wealth to buying gifts for friends and strangers alike, to quietly pursuing her own work as an artist, and to guarding the privacy she valued above all else. The Clark family story spans nearly all of American history in three generations, from a log cabin in Pennsylvania to mining camps in the Montana gold rush, from backdoor politics in Washington to a distress call from an elegant Fifth Avenue apartment. The same Huguette who was touched by the terror attacks of 9/11 held a ticket nine decades earlier for a first-class stateroom on the second voyage of the Titanic.
