Having collaborated on three books with Lynn Schnurnberger (The Men I Didn't Marry, etc.), Kaplan flies solo in this zany crime novel introducing ace amateur sleuth Lacy Fields. A well-heeled Los Angeles matron and celebrity interior designer giddy about clothes, furniture and keeping up with the Joneses, Lacy adores her children and her glamorous hubby, Dr. Dan, a popular plastic surgeon known as the "Saint of Hollywood." When Dan's arrested for the murder of Tasha Barlow, a young actress, and the police and even Dan's attorney believe he's guilty, the devastated Lacy launches her own no-holds barred investigation. Lacy survives tangling with an ex-con, arriving at George Clooney's movie-set trailer in nothing but La Perla lingerie, finding a dead body in the trunk of her Lexus and wrestling with a crazed commercial producer. Name-dropping, price-quoting Lacy is a hoot as she makes the best of many tight situations, like the time she wore "that size 6 Dolce & Gabbana gown to a charity ball." Suspense fans looking for frothy, wacky fun will be well rewarded. 8-city author tour. (Feb.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
