A Few Good Murders: A Maggie Mars Mystery

Maggie Mars is the writer for Murder Becomes Her and she is ecstatic to obtain such a good break. The only fly in the ointment is the leading lady, the famous Allegra Cort who wants Maggie to rewrite every little scene and change all the dialogue so that it becomes her script more than it is Maggie's work. Matters come is a head when Allegra demands Maggie cut out the only scene in which Sheri Davis speaks. Lew, the head of Griffin Studios, forces Maggie to talk to Allegra but when she goes to see her in her luxurious trailer the star says she wants Sheri scene cut out entirely. Maggie refuses and the women get into a fight that is stopped by Allegra's assistant Lisa. The next morning Allegra's body is found with her head bashed in. Maggie becomes a person of interest for the police so she starts investigating Allegra's murder hoping to find the killer so she doesn't end up in jail. A Few Good Murders is a light-hearted chick lit mystery that focuses on the demanding out of control side of Hollywood stars. The heroine is determined, some might call her pigheaded. Hhe does not rely on anyone except herself to get her out of another mess like what happened to her in AS DEEP AS IT GETS. The who done it has plenty of suspects because there is nobody who liked or cared about the victim which makes the protagonist's job harder and the reader's interest more intense because Maggie is the perfect fall gal.
