For the first 100 pages or so, all the Blackbird sisters did was bicker. Boy did that get on my nerves. I actually gave up reading and went to bed hoping that the next time I picked it up, it wouldn't get on my last nerve. No such luck! The only good thing I got from this book was a "Z" male for a challenge. This is definitely not a series I would continue reading.

Society columnist Nora Blackbird is nosy and literally gets her nose into things that don't really concern her, like murder of Zell Orcutt. He is merely her clients (Delilah) client and she just happened to be at his house when his body was found. When Delilah is accused of the murder, Nora starts investigating. There are lots and lots of people involved and it is difficult to keep you mind on what is happening, who is actually involved in the murder and Nora's personal life. Nora finds out she is pregnant and the father of the baby is a mobster whom she loves but dumps anyway but is still having sex with. Her new boyfriend, Richard is a journalist and IMHO she doesn't love him but is stringing him along. I found Nora's attitude and wishy-washy manner irritating. For pete's sake, if you don't love Richard, drump him already. And if Michael's career goes against your morals, get rid of him too. Afterall, there are plenty of fish in the sea.
