1: An enjoyable book to cool off with on hot summer's day!
Although marketed as a sibling rivalry story, that plot seemed secondary to the hilarious amateur detective storyline, as Deborah uses her skills as a soap-opera writer to solve the homicide investigation rocking this sleepy Florida beach community. Very witty, with snappy dialogue, I breezed through this fast-paced story in one day!

2: Not Jane Heller's Best
If you want to read a Jane Heller novel, read NAME DROPPING or FEMALE INTELLIGENCE.
This book will strike a chord with readers who have sisters. Deborah's relationship with Sharon, her sister, is very realistic.
The catalyst in this book is when the man both of them are seeing (without the other one knowing the other was) dies and they discover the body and become each other's alibi.

3: Rah Rah Rah
Another fun read by Jane Heller. This book follows the typical Jane Heller formula: heroine is a likeable, smart, successful woman who discovers new love when least expected. Story is fast paced and filled with witty repertoire. There are scumbag men involved in illegal dealings. Heroine outsmarts everyone and saves the day. Endings are tad unbelievable but story leaves you feeling all warm inside. The end.
Not the best book from Heller but still, all Heller fans will be delighted with this one.

4: Not the best from Jane Heller
Because it takes a lot for me to give on a book, I finished this one. I've read a few novels by Jane Heller now, and I'm seeing a pattern. This one was a very plot-driven novel, like all her other ones, and short on real character development once again. The speed of the plot kept me going through to the end, but I wouldn't recommend it.

5: A fun book
What do you get when you cross two sisters who cant seem to get along, one dead guy, and a mother with who just suffered a heart attack? Well, you get a fun light read that is the perfect get away from the big novels.
Deborah Peltz worked in NYC writing for a well known soap opera. She was unlucky in love and getting bored with her job so when her mother became ill she decided to throw the career away and start fresh down in Florida so she can be closer to home.
Sharon Peltz, has been married to three losers and is looking for husband number four. She is a wedding planning in Boca Raton and has taken care of her mother for years and she was not happy when younger sister Deborah stepped in to help.
The two sisters both take a liking to their mothers cardiologist who saved her in the emergency room. Both girls promised to stay away from Dr. Hirshon but somehow ended up at his house on the same night only to find him dead in the den. As the police held the girls under suspicion of murder, Deborah vowed to clear her name. She began searching for clues and interviewing suspects only to find herself right in the middle of the investigation. To save the day, Deborah must put her differences with Sharon aside and save her sister because she was in danger.
Jane Heller is always good for a light easy read and I would suggest you pick up this book and read one afternoon while sitting out on the beach. You will love it.
