Looks to Die for - Hardcover

Janice Kaplan is widely known for her achievements as a writer, television producer, and magazine editor. The executive editor of Parade Magazine, she is the author or coauthor of nine books, including the bestselling novels The Botox Diaries, Mine Are Spectacular! and The Men I Didn't Marry.

Renˆ©e Raudman gets better with every book. She puts such charm and charisma into her portrayal of heroine Lacy Fields that you immediately fall in love. Lacy, the wife of a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, is accused of murdering a porn star. Because of Raudman's performance, you're working with Lacy every moment as she tries to find the real killer. But Raudman doesn't neglect the minor characters. Lacy's children are typical kids; the men, even the villains, ring true. Raudman doesn't make the villainess a witch, just a wicked and calculating woman. The splashy climax, in which Lacy fights for her life, is a showstopper. Kaplan has crafted a good book, and Raudman gives it a superstar quality. M.T.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
