Hollywood actress Hope Hadley doesn't think that things can get any worse for her. In the last 24 hours, her boyfriend has broken up with her and her long-running police procedural TV show has been canceled.

When a homicide detective shows up at her door the next morning with news that her ex-boyfriend has been murdered, she realizes that her troubles are just beginning. She is shocked - not only to learn of her ex's death, but also to find out that the police consider her to be a suspect in the killing.

Hope soon realizes that the only way to clear her name is by finding the real killer herself.

Enjoyable

Like the story line and the characters. Narration was great. Looking forward to more books in this series.

Funny!

I loved this book! I cant wait to listwn to more. Hope drove me a little nuts but I loved listening to this. I was I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher

Short cozy with fun characters!

This was such a fun listen! It’s a short cozy, so it’s a perfect listen for a car ride or an afternoon of cooking. The narration & story both were really enjoyable, and I felt like I got to know the characters well even in the short time frame. The author does a great job of bringing them all to life & I am already curious as to what comes next for Hope! She is a persistent strong lead character, and even when she hits a lot of dead ends it doesn’t deter her from getting answers. This is a lightheaded & enjoyable listen with great narration!

Actress or detective? You be the judge.

It strikes me that there doesn't seem to be a explanation for the stars that are given. So I thought I'd start giving my take on it.
1 horrible no redeeming qualities. So far I've never given a 1.
2 blah but there are redeeming qualities.
3 ok worth reading.
4 great but there's something off.
5 loved it.

So now about this story. A great beginning for a series. I can't wait for more of this series, I want to say more about this story but I absolutely hate spoilers, so I won't do it to you by going into details. I wish we could give half stars I'd have given this a 4 1/2 stars.
The narrator brings the story to life.

Not so cozy

Fame is a Killer - Cozy Mystery

Not as good as I was hoping for. I just couldn’t connect with the main character, finding her shallow and unlikeable. There is a lack of emotion in the story. It ended up being a mystery without the cozy.

The narration was okay, but there was no variety of voices for the different characters.

I received this audiobook free for an honest review from Audiobookworm.
