Book Review: "Last Writes" by Laura Levine

Book Review: "Last Writes" by Laura Levine


Book Description:

Wisecracking pen-for-hire Jaine Austen is back -- —and she'’s about to discover that working on the set of a Hollywood sitcom is no laughing matter…...

Jaine still hasn’'t found a good man -- —or a way to keep all those sugary snacks from going straight to her hips. But— -- with a little help from her best friend Kandi— -- she’'s finally landed a gig as a sitcom writer! True, Muffy '‘n Me (aka “Bewitched with Tits”) isn’'t going to win any Emmys. And her office at Miracle Studios needs a little sprucing up, and a few dozen rat traps. But it sure beats writing boring brochures and bad resumes, so Jaine'’s not complaining. Until the plot thickens— -- with murder…...

Jaine figures the trouble all started when Muffy '‘n Me'’s hottest star, gorgeous Quinn Kirkland, seduced the head writer— -- whose husband also works on the show. But when Quinn'’s caught in bed with the barely-legal actress who plays his niece, things really heat up— -- and his many jealous girlfriends start to figure things out...…

So when the no-good heartthrob drops dead after nibbling a poisoned doughnut, Jaine isn’'t terribly surprised. But who could have done it? A competitive co-star and a couple of scorned lovers top Jaine'’s list of suspects, but the police have zeroed in on her man-crazy pal Kandi. She fell hard for Quinn -- —and nearly fell apart when she learned of all his other women. Now Jaine has to figure out who finally stopped Quinn’'s cheatin’' heart -- before her best friend ends up behind bars…...

This is the 2nd in the series. What a great cozy!!! Fast paced and funny! I am enjoying this series as well. I don't know that I could read them back to back to back, but I will continue to read the series.

Happy Reading!
