was just as much fun to read as the previous two, filled with suspense, mystery, danger, and craziness. I always thought that being a TV star was a life filled with glamour, not anymore.Alexis (Alex) Peterson is a soap opera star, and a single Mom trying to make a stable life for her 5 year old daughter and make ends meet after her husband, Randy, runs away with all the money. Alex’s Mom also lives with them in Venice, CA. Alex’s best friend, and partner in mischief, is her hairdresser George. Her latest boyfriend is Frank Jakes, or as George calls him Detective McHandsome, an LAPD homicide detective.
Alex gets invited to the big Halloween party at the Playboy Mansion by Shana, former Playmate and ex-wife of a co-star. Shana tells Alex that she needs to speak with her about a problem since Alex’s boyfriend is a cop. Alex, as Little Bo Peep, brings George, as a Sheep, with her. The description of the costume is wonderful and funny I could see and feel them clearly in my mind. While Alex and George are waiting for Shana to return from a photo shoot they decide to go through the Haunted House and find a freshly murdered body.
Following clues to the identity of the killer, Alex and Jakes go to Las Vegas (bending the law just a little), where they learn of another victim, and then back to LA. In LA, they learn that one of the people they talk to in Vegas has been murdered and another one has disappeared. They find that the motive for the murders lies in the artificial world of medicinal beauty products (how very Hollywood). Alex, once again, almost gets killed stumbling across the killers, something she seems to have a rare talent for, but Jakes is there to rescue her.
