Love Her to Death

Celeste Lawson blends police business and show business to perfection. To anyone who is a soap opera aficionado, Palmer's mystery is a treasure-trove of information about script writing, plotting, casting, and producing. You'll need to keep a chart just to keep the sharp details, quirky characters, and behind-the-scenes gossip straight. Lawson creates horror worthy of an audible gasp when a two-legged rattlesnake is introduced, and total awe when a no-legged rattlesnake arrives. Each stunt double is as uniquely voiced as the divas. Murder, mayhem, a soap opera star working her weight-loss plan on daytime TV, poisoned chocolate, and exceptional narration--who could ask for more? K.A.T.
