Drop Dead Gorgeous

by Linda Howard Narrated by Joyce Bean

Overview

Blair Mallory, last seen in To Die For, has already survived one murder attempt. Now, while planning her wedding and dealing with holiday-season madness, Blair once again dodges a bullet. Or, more precisely, a Buick. And though the driver's identity remains a mystery, his or her murderous intentions are all too clear.

Or are they? After all, Blair's homicidal ex-husband and his partner-in-crime/wife are safely behind bars. And even Wyatt Bloodsworth, Blair's police detective groom-to-be, isn't inclined to believe she's being targeted again. All of which makes Blair wonder if her close call was simply a mishap. But the wondering stops when she narrowly cheats death again in another seemingly innocent accident. Two strikes is all it takes to convince Blair that she's back in someone's crosshairs. And the only thing more frightening is that Wyatt still doubts her. That means this time no one will be watching Blair's back when she sets out to get the drop on her would-be killer-before whoever it is finally drops her.

Editorial Reviews

OCT/ NOV 07 - AudioFile

Health club owner Blair Mallory is rushing to make arrangements for her wedding to Police Lieutenant Wyatt Bloodsworth when she’s hit by a car. Soon it becomes clear the incident was no accident when her condo is firebombed. Joyce Bean portrays the character of Blair as both a Southern belle and a self-sufficient woman. Wyatt is portrayed as a long-suffering lover, initially oblivious of death threats to his fiancée. Bean expertly reads the first-person narrative from Blair’s point of view, varying her intonation slightly for the male characters. While Bean works hard to keep the action and the suspense breathless, don't expect a complex mystery or romance. Instead, Howard has created a great beach read, enhanced by Bean's flawless performance. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
