    About this audiobook

    Lacy Fields is the wife of a prominent Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, a dedicated mother of three, and an absolutely fabulous decorator to the stars. But when her husband is accused of murdering a young wannabe actress, Lacy finds out she has a killer instinct for hunting down murderers as well as antique furniture.

    Cleverly marrying the day-to-day foibles of family life with delicious insider glamour, Looks to Die For takes audiences behind the scenes of a fashionable world of gossip, name-dropping, and murder. This suspense-meets-shopping must-listen signals the arrival of a savvy and stylish new voice.

      I'm wondering if this was a debut.

      *checks* Yup. Why am I not surprised?

      Honestly, I cut debutant authors some slack, because even as a reader, and avid journal writer, I know that it takes time to get comfortable with your writing. And that's why most authors first few books are disappointing, to say the least.

      However, I wasn't expecting much from this book. How can it still disappoint me? Hmm. Maybe I deceived myself.

      The things that annoyed me about this book (Yup, you can check, it's on my 'Abandoned' shelf- I read more than half of it then skipped to the end)

      Forgot-her-name's husband has been arrested for murder, yet all she can talk about is the colour of her clothes and her nail polish. There is tooo much nail dropping, and I can understand that the author's background makes it impossible to avoid- but seriously? Which person would consider if she should stop at Neiman Marcus to buy a lace camisole to look sexy while interviewing a pervert suspect?

      Well, even with her 'professional' silk pantsuit, she ends up with a dog collar around her neck

      Man, the depths that this lady provoked me to. And her daughter is a brat. Honestly. If my kid was telling me 'I hate you' when her father had been arrested, I would certainly do something other than blame myself for it. I mean, how does that even make sense?

      We seriously need books where heroines are NOT the only ones expected to be a fucking doormat. Nurturers or not.

      The family in this book reminded me of a very artificial family, where everything is perfect on the outside, but all kinds of fucked up inside. Coming from a loving family, it irritated me to see *forgot-her-name* commenting that her kissing her son goodnight on the forehead didn't embarrass him. Seriously?

      Woah. Writing and characters could do with a LOT of improvement. Still, debut book gets a pass. Her next one better be jolly better than this, is all I'm saying. Or else?

      'Abandoned'. Without a qualm.
