When Tucker finds a cop on her doorstep, she is surprised. She’s even more surprised when she’s told that Evan Brice, her ex-fiance, has been found stabbed to death. His wife, Cissy, Tucker’s ex-best friend because Cissy married Evan out from under Tucker, is the prime suspect. She can’t believe Cissy could do it so she sets out to “help” the police find the real killer. The fact that the police don’t want help doesn’t stop Tucker.
The fact that he’d been unfaithful and a drug addict provide more suspects for Tucker to check out. The homicide detective is not happy she’s mucking around in his investigation. Joe Deegan, a detective who Tucker has had a romantic interest in, is also telling her to stop investigating. But Tucker can’t stand by and let them arrest Cissy and leave Dara, Cizzy and Evan’s young daughter, without a parent.
Can Tucker find the real killer without putting herself in danger? Can she put up with her mother, Pookie, and her boyfriend, Bruce, living with her, not to mention their dog Muldoon? Can she find a hunk of a date for her ex-husband’s wedding?
This is the first book in this series that I’ve read. I really liked Tucker. I look forward to reading more in this series. The setting of LA for this series is great. Really adds to the ambiance of Hollywood to the story.
I highly recommend this book.
