This book is great! It has some "Hollywood" to it as well as mystery, intrigue and just a touch of romance. It was fast-paced and kept me interested and wanting more until the very end.

Book Summary: When Meg Barnes, a Hollywood icon of a certain age, loses everything to her con-man husband, she decides to track him down to get it all back--or at the very least her self-respect, her reputation and maybe even a chance at the love of her life.

In Down And Out In Beverly Heels author Kathryn Leigh Scott utilizes her personal experience in the entertainment industry to weave a quirky tale that has a great mix of mystery, comedy and romance.

Set in glitzy Beverly Hills, the story is written in the first person narrative that follows the trials and tribulations of Meg Barnes, a down and out former actress, as she goes on a search to track down Paul, her con man husband, who has disappeared after swindling people in a real estate scam, leaving Meg penniless, homeless and living in her car. FBI agent Jack Mitchell is on the case and thinks that Meg was involved, with the help of her best friend Donna, Meg teams up with Jack on a madcap adventure to find her con man husband, prove her innocence, and maybe even find romance along the way.

This fast-paced mystery story has enough suspense and intriguing twists and turns, flashbacks on Meg's past, comedic humor and a light touch of romance that keeps the reader entertained. Rich in detail of familiar Beverly Hills and Hollywood landmarks, the reader can easily visualize being transported to Tinseltown as they follow Meg on her crazy adventure where murder, mystery, mayhem and mishaps ensue.

With a quirky cast of characters; witty dialogue and interactions; and a crazy madcap mystery adventure featuring a spunky former actress, a hilarious best friend sidekick, and a handsome FBI agent; Down And Out In Beverly Heels is an enjoyable and entertaining summer read.
