Advice columnist Molly Forrester needs a much-needed break from her job at Zeitgeist, a Manhattan glossy. The opportunity for some R-n-R arrives when her best friends, Tricia and Cassady, invite her to the Hamptons for a weekend of hard-earned fun to celebrate Tricia's brother's engagement. But Molly's plans of sipping margaritas by the poolside and working on nothing more than her tan are sidetracked by an unscheduled event--the murder of the bride-to-be...

It isn't long before suspicion is cast on Tricia's brother. Was this a case of jealousy or something much deeper? Now Molly must follow a trail of sex, lies, and streaming video back to Manhattan, but her sleuthing efforts are complicated when her ex-boyfriend, NYPD homicide detective Kyle Edwards, interferes with the case--and with Molly's heart…

Whether stepping out for cocktails or murder, Molly Forrester and her gal pals, Tricia Vincent and Cassady Lynch, always look utterly glam in their designer duds-like Nancy Drew and chums George and Bess might look if transported to contemporary Manhattan after watching way too many episodes of Sex and the City. But would Nancy ever say: "Solving a murder is a lot like falling in love"? Probably not, but that sort of glib chatter is what energizes Anderson's fizzy second Molly Forrester mystery (after 2004's Killer Heels). A hip but frustrated advice columnist for the woman's lifestyle mag Zeitgeist, Molly dreams of becoming a full-time crusading girl reporter, since in her debut outing she managed to solve a murder and land an article in prestigious Manhattan magazine. An engagement party in Southhampton for Tricia's brother, David, offers another opportunity for crime solving. When David's actress fiancée is murdered and he becomes the prime suspect, Tricia asks Molly and Kyle to help in the investigation. Anderson, a TV producer, depicts Molly, Manhattan and terminally cool suspects with a refreshing hilarity, though some readers might wish for less designer name dropping and a deeper, more nuanced mystery.
