A Talent for Murder

Polly Pepper's been hired to be the nice judge on I'll Do Anything to Become Famous, the latest reality T.V. show to hit the airwaves, in which contestants have to prove that they'll go for another's jugular in order to get their names in the headlines. But someone takes the show's theme literally when Thane Cornwall, the relentlessly critical and universally hated British judge on the panel, is found dead with a ten-inch knife in his back. . .If there's one thing Polly's learned over the years, it's that nothing in Hollywood is ever as it seems. Now she'll have to get to the bottom of this mystery before her star on the Walk of Fame may soon be put out by a cunning killer. . .Bubbly. . . Fans of comic whodunits will be rewarded. —Publishers Weekly
