{From Amazon} "I am Doreen Owens Malek, author of over forty books and lifelong fan of romantic fiction. I live in PA with my husband and college student daughter, a mini dachshund and a sun conyer parrot. I would like to tell you a little about myself.
I came to writing by a circuitous route, starting out as an avid reader of JANE EYRE and WUTHERING HEIGHTS and GONE WITH THE WIND and REBECCA and any other similarly themed books I could find. I first worked as a teacher and then graduated from law school when I desired a more lucrative and independent career. I had always been discouraged from pursuing a writing career by the volatile nature of the business and the relatively poor chance for success. But the realization that I needed a focus for the future encouraged me to do what I had always wanted to do. I sold my fledgling novel to the first editor who read it, and I have been writing ever since. I have written all types of books for all types of people, but my favorite literary pursuit is and always has been romance. Nothing is as rewarding as hearing from my readers, so please use my website to communicate your thoughts and criticisms, as I am always eager to learn from you.
A romance novel rarely disappoints me: in an uncertain world filled with tragedy and sadness, reading about an appealing woman finding a strong man to love her and share her life is the perfect escape. I like to read and write stories in which the main characters overcome obstacles to get together, and then stay together because their mutual devotion cannot be denied no matter what else is happening around them. They always HELP each other and reinforce the quaint but enduring notion that love conquers all - at least in the fictional universe of my imagination. So pull up a chair and take down a book- or pick up a Kindle- and join me in a world where the heroes are tough and headstrong but never boorish and the heroines are feminine and sympathetic but never helpless."

A quick whodunit read from the early Nineties. Much loved/much hated daytime actress Blaine Curtis has been brutally murdered. On very little evidence if you ask me, her co-star/ex-lover, Tim Canfield, is arrested. Tim is innocent. Or is he? Coming to his defense is lawyer Juliet Mason, who finds herself attracted to her client. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Michael Mondello isn't convinced they've arrested the right man and continues investigating, which leads him to become involved with Blaine's half-sister, Dr. Rae Deschanel. Also meanwhile, Blaine's last stud muffin, Jim Gunnerson, quickly gets over her untimely death with the help of tabloid reporter Gloria Gilchrist.
Look, don't expect much from this "mystery" and you won't be disappointed.

About what I should ahve expected for the price - free! I just could not get into it at all. Fairly confusing to follow. Or at least up to the point I stopped reading it.
