Somebody is Killing the Trophy Wives of Beverly Hills by John Kane- a review
Amazon / Barnes and Noble / KOBO /
ABOUT THE BOOK: In Hollywood, all the stars, the top directors, the studio tycoons and, of course the rock stars have replaced their first wives with the younger, newer, hotter model. Everywhere she looks, glitz-writer Nikki Tyler sees trophy wives. Some of them are even her friends… but that doesn’t mean she wants one of them to send her their manuscript and ask for help placing it with her publisher. Still, Hollywood is all about connections and favors–Nikki figures she owes it to her friend Tamara to at least look at the project which turns out to be a story of blackmail and murder among the trophy wives of Beverly Hills.
****************
Somebody is Killing the Trophy Wives of Beverly Hills by John Kane is the most delightful surprise I’ve had in months!
This incredibly well written novel is just full of wonderful humor and still has a story to tell. It’s actually told very well. Amid a mirage of fantastic names and great lines, this is a really clever murder story. You really don’t know who is doing the killing. I’m pretty good at figuring out twists, but this was really a stumper for me.
Nikki Tyler is an ex-actress, now bestselling author of fiction/romance/sex novels. She lives in Beverly Hills and has most of her adult life. Many of her acquaintances/friends are famous Hollywood celebrities and she has such a wonderful sense of humor describing them.
The new wife of her agent has written a book and she’s been “roped” into helping her with it, when she’s abruptly murdered. During the process (including meeting the miraculously endowed Detective Rocco Stefano) of the investigation of the murder – another friend is found also murdered! And that’s all the spoilers I’m giving out! LOL
This is a very entertaining book, hard almost impossible to put down. It’s truly a delightful story with so much to offer! I personally am looking forward to much more from this author! I’m now a fan of John Kane!
