Description

From the CWA Whodunnit Dagger Winner Lisa Hall:

Sticks, stones and MURDER...

Gossip is nothing new in Hollywood but when a new column takes the town by storm, rumours are rife. The mystery writer holds no punches, knows all secrets and seems dead set on taking people down. The studio system will stop at nothing to protect the reputation of its stars, but this is out of control. Careers hang in the balance.

When a beloved star is found dead in a pool, Tinsel Town is shocked. Was it an accident? A letter was sent a week before he died warning of misfortune but who sent it? And could it be connected to the mystery gossip column?

Lily will do everything in her power to uncover the truth, even if it means risking her own death. But can she unmask the poison pen author?
