Synopsis

The latest novel in this sharply witty new Hollywood mystery series delivers behind-the-scenes dish, clever intrigue, and maybe even true love between actresses Bexley Simon and Sam Farmer . . .

Since the hugely successful reunion special for their hit show Craven’s Daughter, TV detectives Bex and Sam find themselves busier than ever—but, unfortunately, two thousand miles apart for long months. So much for quickly coaxing the long-simmering spark between them into flame. Finally back in L.A., though, all bets are off, and Bex and Sam are looking forward to some IRL time by the pool—at least until Bex’s sister Vic brings home a truly juicy bit of gossip garnered from her nepo-baby girl squad . . .
Ramona Watts was once the Gen X It Girl—Hollywood darling, household name, muse, and coolest of the cool, until the “Icon with Issues” spectacularly crashed and burned. But now she has a new hit horror series, The Howling, and she’s bringing all her charm and 90s nostalgia to the role. Suddenly, Ramona Watts is a Name again—which makes it surprising when she fails to show up on set.
It's none of their business, of course, but Bex and Sam are curious. And they both have Hollywood connections left, right, and center stage, some of whom would love to see them sleuthing again. Plus, spending that kind of time together means another chance at a real romance. So what if they’re not actual detectives? In Los Angeles, isn’t everyone playing a role?

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first in the series. It feels like the two MCs don’t actually interact very much? The focus is so much on the mystery that all of Sam and Bex’s chemistry is just gone and most of the scenes they share could have been replaced with one person asking questions or......more

Thank you so incredibly much to NetGalley and the publisher for gracing my virtual shelves with an e-ARC for an honest review. Gosh can I even contain myself enough to rave about books in this series (can I even call it that???) like a normal person??? We’ll see!! I almost screamed when I saw I got......more

Goodreads review by Faiza on February 21, 2026

Coming back to this series felt like walking into a familiar living room and sinking into your favorite chair. This installment shifts the lens to Samantha Farmer, and experiencing the story through her perspective adds a richness I didn’t even realize I was missing before. The earlier book centered......more

Goodreads review by Ellen on February 20, 2026

A will-they-or-won’t-they-romance, a healthy dollop of Hollywood tea, all wrapped up in a cozy mystery….who could ask for anything more? Ruthie Knox and Annie Mare return to their almost but not quite lovers, Samantha Farmer and Bexley Simon, actresses who starred together in a popular TV female bud......more
