This is filed under cozy in the Amazon categories, but does indeed also come with a one star customer review complaining NOT A COZY MYSTERY!, so it's your call as to whether you want to get it or not. The included editorial reviews seem to be favourable.
In the tradition of Janet Evanovich, comes a smart and sassy first mystery about family values—Hollywood style.
Animation filmmaker Lucy Frampton seemingly has it all—the glamorous mansion, adorable child and too-handsome-for-his-own-good producer husband. But Lucy has something her famous neighbors do not: a nude, wannabe starlet floating dead in her swimming pool!!!
When she and her husband become the prime suspects in the high-profile murder investigation, Lucy knows she’s going to have to clear her own name—especially when she finds out that the enterprising victim had set her sights on Lucy’s husband!
In a world of sex, lies, and iPhones, it’s up to Lucy to find the killer…lest she find herself as the next Fabulous victim!!! |
That review also says for us to think "sleaze and sewer."
Personally, I enjoy reading sleazy novels in a sewer, although the chittering sound of crawling rats oftentimes drowns out the ever-present 'plopping' sound of water that seems to echo around me....
