Bloom, who's written as Beth Saulnier about enterprising reporter
Alex Bernier (Ecstasy, 2003, etc.), introduces another winning
heroine in this tale of murder at a New York media mogul's empire.
When her caddish fiance abandons Isabelle Leonard at the altar,
Becky Belden, who's part Martha Stewart and part Oprah, descends
from her empyrean realm to offer a job to the plucky lass who made
headlines by dancing on the table at her reception, taking her best
friend on her honeymoon, and donating the furniture the cad had
picked out to the Salvation Army. Arriving at Becky Belden
Multimedia, Isabelle is daunted both by her job description (what
does her boss, Director of Special Projects Lisa Kinne, do, and
what's Lisa's assistant supposed to do?) and by the fact that the
job opened up because her predecessor, Marcia Landon, was pushed in
front of a subway. And Marcia wasn't the only one. In recent
months, at least six BBM employees have vanished or fallen victim
to hit-and-run drivers, meningitis, drug overdoses, or peanut
allergies. What one key could unlock such different doors to
death-and is the next door open for Isabelle? An appealing heroine
and an intriguing mystery undercut by the world's most unconvincing
hit man and an extended finale that leaves the killer at large-not,
it's to be hoped, for the encore Isabelle so richly deserves.
(Kirkus Reviews)
Making headlines for her scandalous behavior after being jilted at
the altar, Isabelle Leonard is hired to work for a glamorous
magazine publisher but becomes alarmed when she learns that her
predecessor and numerous fellow employees have been murdered in
seemingly random attacks.
