Mystery Fun

This book is first and foremost -- fun. The characters and the plot keep you moving through it. You get to see the worlds of television and fashion through the eyes of a real insider, Elsa Klensch. Fortunately, she doesn't take it so seriously. She just enjoys it! You will be kept guessing about the murderer, but even if you figure who it is... the real fun is staying wth the characters. Sonya Iverson, the television producer and detective, takes you on a romp. I read this over a weekend. It's fast and funny and fascinating.
