I broke one my rules about reading books that are part of a series with this book I havent read book one and this is book two. As with most series, the book does stand alone, but I think there are some things that may have made more sense if Id read book #1 first.

That said, I enjoyed the story. Alexis Peterson has recently joined a new soap cast. She left her last soap because her cast mates thought she had killed a co-star and she couldnt continue to work with people who thought she was capable of murder. (Apparently, shes not one to be believe that under the right circumstances, anyone could kill someone.) She is about to do an award presentation at the Daytime Emmy Awards with her co-star, Jackson Masters, the first presentation of the show. But hes missing, until he suddenly shows up dangling and bleeding on her from above the stage at the award show.

The same detective that she met in the first story, Detective Frank Jakes, and his partner are investigating this murder. This time, Alexis is not a suspect. But Alexis has gotten the detective bug and her strong feelings for Detective Frank Jakes lead her to help with the murder investigation. Her assistance is wanted by Jakes, but his partner and supervisor want her to have nothing to do with the investigation.

Her ex, Randy, has also come back and is demanding to see their daughter. Alexis wants him to have nothing to do with her. Afterall, he walked out on them with her money three years ago and she hasnt seen him since.

Overall, its a great little cozy mystery and fun to read. The one thing that bothered me was that she kept referring to her daughter as her sweet little girl. I think her overall actions and interactions with her daughter made me know she loved her daughter it was like she had to beat it over my head that she loves her daughter.
