  Since the body is found in Marissa’s office, she’s the police department’s number one suspect. It doesn’t help matters that the model was engaged to Marissa’s ex-husband!

  Jeffrey Marks, hot on the scent of a new hit series. His Marissa is my idea of a good best friend—she balances motherhood, career, inquisitiveness, and loyalty to her friends in equal measure. Thoroughly enjoyable.
