It was inspired by an infamous Hollywood murder that took place when she was growing up there in the ’60s, surrounded by the glamor of Tinsel Town. A starred review in Publishers Weekly calls it “a captivating thriller,” and InStyle Magazine made it a #1 “Page-Turning Pick.” Ephron, the regular “On Crime” book reviewer for the Boston Globe, was awarded the Ellen Nehr Award for Excellence in Mystery Book Reviewing.
