Publisher Description
Maggie Mars is a struggling screenwriter whose big break is happening now. Her latest script is being filmed and Maggie's on the set. But Maggie thinks that the lead actress is playing her character all wrong and tells her. A screaming match ensues.
So when said actress is found dead with her head bashed in with her own Oscar, Maggie is viewed as a "person of interest". She tries to keep a low profile and cooperate with the police. Complicating things is the fact that one of the deputies on the case is a former lover of Joe Camanetti, the sometime/longtime love of Maggie's life.
And somewhere out there is a killer who thinks Maggie is just too clever for her own good.
Memo #312 to Maggie: Never write murder scenarios too good for a killer to pass up...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The hyper-fab Maggie Mars discovers the dangers of screenwriting in Kalian's snazzy sequel to 2006's As Dead as It Gets. After tantrum-throwing diva Allegra Cort, the star of Maggie's new movie Murder Becomes Her, is bludgeoned to death with her own Oscar, the cops find Maggie's prints on it, making her a prime suspect. Baffling spirit messages from TV psychic Mitzi Elgin, who's Allegra's friend (and Maggie's dad's girlfriend), attempts on Maggie's life and another shocking murder keep Maggie on her toes as she delves into Allegra's past. Maggie is no relation to TV sleuth Veronica, but their similarities don't end at last names and hobbies: Maggie's sticky intermittent relationship with LAPD cop Joe Camenetti is highly reminiscent of Veronica's teen romantic angst. The Hollywood collaborators behind the Kalian signature, veteran TV/film writer/producer Irma Kalish and Naomi Gurian, former executive director of the Writer's Guild of America, West Coast branch, keep things moving at a clip entirely suitable for TV adaptation. Stay tuned!
