Getting killed off is a soap star's worst nightmare, especially when it happens off camera.

Morgan Tyler is a beautiful, sassy young widow who lost the love of her life before she turned thirty and now puts all her romantic energies into her job as the head writer of the award-winning soap opera, Love of My Life.

When one of the show's starlets is injured in a hit-and-run accident, Morgan crosses paths with the homicide detective Matt Phoenix, who is immediately attracted to her. But their budding relationship becomes complicated when Morgan's boss is murdered and Morgan is revealed as the sole heir to his estate—despite their prickly relationship. Morgan's life is starting to look like one of her scripts. Does Matt suspect her? Now a real-life killer is after her. And her time—like sand through an hourglass—is running out.

      Linda Palmer's debut mystery is fast paced and filled with quirky characters, including a long list of suspects with viable motives. Celeste Lawson slips easily into the character of Morgan Tyler, head writer for "Love of My Life." Lawson makes the repartee between the characters snap and crackle. Even when Morgan's life begins to resemble the outlandish soap opera scripts she writes, Lawson maintains control of the story. Together Palmer and Lawson bring the world of daytime drama to life.

      Combining romance, humor and suspense, this offbeat debut mystery from Palmer, a screenwriting teacher and former wildlife photographer, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the soap opera industry. Narrator Lawson slips easily into the character of vulnerable Morgan Tyler, a beautiful young widow and Emmy Award-winning soap opera writer. Morgan's life begins to resemble the outlandish scripts she writes when the head of her network's daytime programming is murdered and she, as his unwitting beneficiary, becomes the prime suspect. Fortunately for Morgan, Detective Matt Phoenix seems to be interested in more than just her alibi. The characters' exchanges are fast-paced and often tinged with sarcasm, but Lawson shines in this arena, switching seamlessly among various intonations and accents, even such disparate ones as English and Southern. With its smart dialogue and quirky characters—including Morgan's "50-ish and desperate" competitor Helen and Matt's sweet-as-pie but delusional Aunt Penny—this tale is perfect for audio adaptation, and Lawson does a fine job of bringing it to life. Based on the Berkley paperback.
