Lola Somerville has a great husband and a great apartment. She's even published a novel. But her first novel isn't getting quite the attention it deserves. On the other hand, her best friend, who readily admits she's not even a "real" writer, has been approached by someone who wants to turn her blog into a novel. Lola can't even take a cab drive or walk into a bar without running into someone who's writing a book. Or someone whose book is being turned into a major motion picture. It's all very irritating.
But then Lola stumbles upon the dead body of an author friend of hers at said friend's book party. As if this weren't bad enough, she dog-sits for another author friend and ends up finding this friend's body, too. Lola does some sleuthing on her own (as do most of the people in the books I read) and nearly ends up dead herself. But if she can solve the mystery, what a great book deal she could get!
This is a totally fun murder mystery, satire at its best. It is intelligent without being overbearing.
