First Sentence: I found Gilley in the kitchen, tearfully sniffing as he stared at his laptom screen.
From the Publisher: Wild rumors are swirling in the Hamptons over "Twelve Angry Men," a ruthlessly revealing one-woman show written and performed by Yelena Galanis. The well-known socialite dated her way through some of the East End's most eligible bachelors, and now she's sparing few details while spilling their humiliating secrets to scandalized crowds. It's a mean-spirited spectacle that urges Cat to make a beeline for the theater exit during the first act--only to later discover that Yelena was found stabbed to death during intermission that same evening...
Adding to the disturbing news, Cat realizes she may have had a close encounter with the murderer. But when the one lead gives way to another violent death, her newest client--romantically linked to Yelena--gets tagged as the prime suspect. Believing eleven other barely-anonymous men had reasons to kill the thespian for playing a cruel game of kiss and tell, Cat teams up with her sidekick, Gilley, to track down Yelena's list of rejected lovers and identify the vengeful culprit stalking around the seaside community, lingering frighteningly close to home.(Kensington)
My Opinion: Finally!! Gilley has grown up and isn’t nearly as annoying and childish as his previous iterations in Victoria Laurie’s books. He has turned into a deeply caring and thoughtful person.
No matter how hard Cat tries to keep her head down and her life coaching business afloat, murder finds her. Not only does it arrive in the form of a man stumbling into her table at a coffee shop, but there was also the slight issue of a one-woman show which was set to name names. Including a name that hits too close to home leaving Cat and her detective boyfriend reeling from the implications.
Victoria Laurie’s books are perfect for a weekend. There is humor and compassion and just enough mystery to keep the reader turning the pages.
