Publisher Description
The latest novel in this sharply witty new Hollywood mystery series delivers behind-the-scenes dish, clever intrigue, and maybe even true love between actresses Bexley Simon and Sam Farmer . . .
Since the hugely successful reunion special for their hit show Craven’s Daughter, TV detectives Bex and Sam find themselves busier than ever—but, unfortunately, two thousand miles apart for long months. So much for quickly coaxing the long-simmering spark between them into flame. Finally back in L.A., though, all bets are off, and Bex and Sam are looking forward to some IRL time by the pool—at least until Bex’s sister Vic brings home a truly juicy bit of gossip garnered from her nepo baby girl squad . . .
Ramona Watts was once the Gen X It Girl—Hollywood darling, household name, muse, and coolest of the cool, until the “Icon with Issues” spectacularly crashed and burned. But now she has a new hit horror series, The Howling, and she’s bringing all her charm and 90s nostalgia to the role. Suddenly, Ramona Watts is a Name again—which makes it surprising when she fails to show up on set.
It's none of their business, of course, but Bex and Sam are curious. And they both have Hollywood connections left, right, and center stage, some of whom would love to see them sleuthing again. Plus, spending that kind of time together means another chance at a real romance. So what if they’re not actual detectives? In Los Angeles, isn’t everyone playing a role?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Married coauthors Knox and Mare reunite Bexley Simon and Samantha Farmer—former costars on a popular detective show who've become sleuthing partners and long-distance girlfriends—in this charming sequel to Big Name Fan. Bex and Sam's first case as real-life detectives earned them a good reputation among "Hollywood people who don't want to get the authorities involved too soon." With that in mind, they're approached by Macie Finn, part of a clique of 1990s stars known to the public as the Ice Crew. Macie is worried about her fellow Ice Crew member Ramona Watts, who's been missing for more than three days after failing to turn up for the taping of an episode of her new TV series, The Howling. Bex and Sam agree to track Ramona down, and soon discover that her disappearance may be linked to a dark episode from the Ice Crew's past. The blossoming romance between Bex and Sam is sweet and steamy without overwhelming the main investigation. Witty, rapid-fire dialogue, well-developed characters, and a convincing evocation of Hollywood's seedier side make for fast, fun reading. Readers will look forward to the duo's next adventure.
