Set in Hollywood, this
beguiling thriller has some interesting and surprising twists that
will make even the most sophisticated reader shake his or her head in
wonder.
Kelly Michelle Lund
becomes a media sensation when she shoots an Oscar-nominated director
at a party in his posh Hollywood Hills home. During her trial the
teenager refuses to explain her motive for the crime.
Now three decades after
her conviction, Kelly is out of prison but she’s now in trouble e
again after her father-in-law has been killed. Because he was a
friend of the man Kelly was convicted of killing and a movie legend
in his own right, the woman heads the suspect list for this latest
crime.
Questions abound about
this mysterious woman who some believe was not responsible for the
first death or this latest one. These people may want to help her
clear her name, but you may wonder if Kelly isn’t manipulating
them for her own ends.
Set in two periods of
time, Alison Gaylin uses these two crimes to also offer a fascinating
look at the entertainment industry. The novel’s protagonist is one
you won’t soon forget and the story’s clever plot will also
linger with you long after you have finished What Remains of Me.
