A funny intelligent read

Well, this is my second Laura Van Wormer read and I have not been disappointed. There is a funny heroine who has some deifinite issues with men, a lesbian work-a-holic boss, and murder. How can you lose? Instead of the usual who-dunnit the plot involves the mob. Really, it is quite good. I'll read the next one, not just because it will be an interesting plot (and not that easy to figure out) but also because I want to see where life leads this woman.

Another page-turner from LVW

Another great book for a cosy winter night in front of the bay window. Von Wormer's style has matured since her first books (although she still uses "and so" on occasion - aargh!) and she still keeps me on the edge. This one is action and romance packed, that's for sure. However, I think Sally Harrington has run her course. Her priorities are not that well-defined and what I did see, I wasn't crazy about. Time to introduce a new powerful female lead and retire Sally to the newsroom.

Good story and interesting characters

I have been following this storyline, and its been good but...this is almost like a serial story where the story doesn't really have a conclusion. Tune in next time for the next part. I'm not sure I like that at hardback book prices.

Another winner!!

I almost hate to pick up a Laura Van Wormer book, because I know that nothing that I have to do will get done until I have finished the book. This time was no exception. I love Sally Harrington, she gets better with every book. Fasten your seatbelts this ride is just as wild as the last two. Enjoy!

A very special mystery

Life looks good to Sally Harrington as she now works for DBS News in Manhattan even though she is the key witness at Los Angels' high viz "The Mafia Boss Murder" trial. Sally's boss Alexandra Waring takes her off everything and assigns her to investigate her old mob pals, Presario-Arlenetta, so the show can produce a special. Choosing between mobsters whom she previously alienated and who almost killed her and advancement in the TV news world, Sally selects her career over safety. Perhaps if she knew what would happen when she agreed to hit New Jersey instead of Atlanta, Sally would have begged off the report. Soon a corpse is found in her trunk and someone tries to kill her. Fighting off males like her former boyfriend and her dazed intern just complicates life, but Sally continues to do what she believes is right even with in your face threats telling her to back off this case. The latest Sally Harrington romantic suspense thriller (see EXPOSE and THE LAST LOVER) is an entertaining tale that readers will fully enjoy because of the lead character. Sally's narration livens up a powerful story line. The support cast, which includes those at the TV, shows, the mob, and those people in her personal life (especially her dog) enable the audience to understand Sally while also propelling the yarn forward. TROUBLE BECOMES HER is a strong entry in a top series that should make Laura Van Wormer a household name for those fans who cherish a keen story starring a intelligent heroine.Harriet Klausner
