recommended for: anyone who sees the comic potential of the publishing industry
This was a quick enjoyable read that was more of a satire than a mystery. Brooklynite, Lola Sommerville, has recently published a book, to very little acclaim, and she's trying hard not to hate all the successful chick lit authors around her--especially because some of them are her friends. However, she certainly doesn't want any of them to die. But when they do start dying (and Lola always seems to be stumbling upon the bodies), Lola worries that she may be next (and perhaps is even more afraid that she's not). With the help of her best friend, Annabel, and nerdily cute husband, Doug, Lola decides to play sleuth and see if she can both find the killer and score a book deal out of the adventure.
In Lynn Harris's New York, everyone has a book deal and this makes a nicely snarky backdrop to a slight but wittily fun novel.
