Bøger af Sheryl J Anderson

Sexy, suspenseful, and snarky, Sheryl J. Anderson's slick debut novel introduces advice columnist Molly Forrester as she faces off against the magazine world, Manhattan's singles scene, and cold-blooded murder. . .

“This ‘Sleuth in the City’ stays on her toes as Anderson keeps the story lighthearted and fast-paced”—Publishers Weekly“Elements of chick lit—the New York setting, the many brand names, lots of shopping, the emphasis on relationship problems—give the novel appeal beyond mystery fans. This third in a series is a quick, fun read.”—BooklistIt takes a special kind of best friend to realize that what you need most in your life is a murder investigation. Advice columnist Molly Forrester is still trying to break through as a journalist, and her best friends are completely—if a little ghoulishly—supportive. And when Manhattan advertising maverick Garth Henderson is murdered, she just might finally get that chance with this juicy assignment: an exclusive interview with Gwen Lincoln, the victim’s ex-wife and the prime suspect.Was the murder a calculated business move, a crime of passion, or something more sinister? Is the killer lurking among the employees of the rival advertising firm Garth just purchased? Or among “The Harem,” his six beautiful, talented, and ruthlessly competitive creative directors? Or on the staff of fashion designer Emile Trebask, once Garth’s client and now Gwen’s business partner?While racing to solve the ad world’s most notorious murder on deadline, Molly must also grapple with her manipulative editor, who always has her own angle on everything. To further complicate matters, one of her best friends may have either found true love or a relationship that will destroy her. And Molly’s own ex-boyfriend is circling the story, trying to get his own scoop—and get back into Molly’s good graces. Can Molly handle all these competing interests? Can her current boyfriend, NYPD homicide detective Kyle Edwards?Never one to sidestep a challenge, in work or in love, Molly digs in her four-inch heels and presses forward. In Manhattan, you stand by your deal. Even if it kills you. Killer Deal is the dynamic third installment in Sheryl J. Anderson’s delightful Molly Forrester series.

“Anderson, a TV producer, depicts Molly, Manhattan and terminally cool suspects with a refreshing hilarity. . . .”—Publishers Weekly“Fashion commentary, urbane asides, and witty characters keep the pages turning.”—Library JournalThey say love is easier the second time around: You’d think solving a mystery would be, too. But Molly Forrester finds both to be less than true in this sassy sequel to her first adventure, Killer Heels.Molly’s journalism career is stalled. Solving the murder of a colleague in Killer Heels hasn’t led to bigger and better opportunities as quickly as she’d hoped. Instead, she’s still writing her popular advice column for Zeitgeist magazine, now under a new editor. Stalled too is Molly’s relationship with Detective Kyle Edwards. Perhaps meeting over a dead body isn’t the best way to build a romance after all. When her best friends, Tricia Vincent and Cassady Lynch, suggest a trip to the Hamptons, Molly seizes the chance to get away from her worries for a while. But what starts as an entertaining, champagne-filled weekend of “sipping and sniping” at the ultra-rich explodes into disaster with a dead guest of honor, a blue-blooded family feud, a jealous lover or three, and a murder investigation that stretches back to Manhattan and strains Molly and Kyle almost to the breaking point. And through it all, Molly must contend with an icy female homicide investigator who may be competing with Molly on more than a professional level.With a penchant for saying the right thing—even if at the wrong time—and the enthusiastic help of her two devoted friends, Molly Forrester tackles another murder with zest and style. But will her sharp wit and droll insight be enough to protect those she cares about most? Sheryl J. Anderson whips up another sexy cocktail that’s equal parts comedy, mystery, and romance. This heady brew takes the sting out of the greatest mystery of all—how to keep love alive in the big city.“Her delightful series . . . reverberates with wit, style, and superb characterization.”—Mystery Scene
