Drop Dead Gorgeous (Blair Mallory) - Softcover

Linda Howard is the award-winning author of many New York Times bestsellers, including Drop Dead Gorgeous, Cover of Night, Killing Time, To Die For, Kiss Me While I Sleep, Cry No More, Dying to Please, Open Season, Mr. Perfect, All the Queen’s Men, Now You See Her, Kill and Tell, and Son of the Morning. She lives in Alabama with her husband and two golden retrievers.

Health club owner Blair Mallory is rushing to make arrangements for her wedding to Police Lieutenant Wyatt Bloodsworth when shes hit by a car. Soon it becomes clear the incident was no accident when her condo is firebombed. Joyce Bean portrays the character of Blair as both a Southern belle and a self-sufficient woman. Wyatt is portrayed as a long-suffering lover, initially oblivious of death threats to his fiance. Bean expertly reads the first-person narrative from Blairs point of view, varying her intonation slightly for the male characters. While Bean works hard to keep the action and the suspense breathless, dont expect a complex mystery or romance. Instead, Howard has created a great beach read, enhanced by Beans flawless performance.
