"Should you care to laugh while you read a murder mystery this would be a number one choice, as you rollick along toward a surprising end."--RendezvousSexy, suspenseful, and snarky, Sheryl J. Anderson's slick debut novel introduces advice columnist Molly Forrester as she faces off against the magazine world, Manhattan's singles scene, and cold-blooded murder . . . Molly Forrester enjoys playing a "Dear Abby" type for Zeitgeist, a Manhattan glossy, while she seeks her break in serious journalism. She's always hoped opportunity would knock, not throw itself at her feet-but then she literally stumbles over a colleague's body.  Now her chance to get closer to real news cannot be denied, as she stares at her spoiled Jimmy Choos planted firmly in a pool of blood . . . Molly recruits trusty besties Cassady and Tricia to help her solve the crime.   But she's competing with and distracted by the gorgeous homicide detective on the case.  And competing with Peter, her pretentious boyfriend and journo-rival.  After a second name is brutally struck from the masthead, Molly investigates and stumbles again.  This time, it's onto dangerous secrets within Zeitgeist's ranks.  Now, her involvement in this deadly chaos might just cost her a whole lot more than a pair of to-die-for heels."Chick lit fans, not to mention Sex in the City buffs, will find much to like."--Publishers Weekly"Sparkles like fine champagne, an intoxicating mix of wit, perception, and insouciance, and a wickedly clever but genuine depiction of single life in the city."--Carolyn Hart, author of Murder Walks the Plank… (mere)

Manhattan, actualidad. Molly Forrester siempre había esperado la oportunidad de hacer un buen reportaje. Colabora en la revista de Zeitgeist, pero le encantaría trabajar en la plantilla de Marie Claire o de Cosmo, pero no hay manera de sobresalir entre la media. Así que cuando se tropieza literalmente con un crimen –cae encima del cuerpo de un colega de profesión, estropeándose sus carísimos zapatos ve la ocasión perfecta para meterse de lleno en una noticia tan real y escabrosa como la vida misma. La sangre pertenece a su amigo Teddy que está muerto en el suelo de la oficina con un cuchillo en su garganta. Una vez llegan los detectives, Molly discrepa con las conclusiones a las que han llegado, que incluyen a la esposa de Teddy como primera sospechosa del crimen. Pero ella aún se siente poco preparada para dar el gran salto a la investigación criminal, así que le pide ayuda a Cassady y a Tricia, sus mejores amigas, con las que siempre puede contar para lo que sea, y éstas, evidentemente, aceptan de buen grado por el morbo que les despierta el caso. Al poco de que Molly y sus amigas se hayan inmerso en la investigación, hay un segundo asesinato. Tirando del hilo relacionan las dos muertes con las repentinas irregularidades financieras de la sección de contabilidad de la revista Zeitgeist.

This is a re-read of the first book in a series I have on my "will never part with" shelves. Probably the first murder mystery I'd read that was more "chick-lit" than cozy, I love this book. It's witty, funny, well-written and has a great mystery plot. Plus, a great start to a killer romance. :)

Molly is a journalist for a women's lifestyle magazine, writing the advice column. Of course she aspires to become a much more serious journalist, writing deep, thought provoking articles about things that matter, but she's not shallow "*sigh* I just know I can do better!" about it - she's working hard and looking for opportunities to advance her career in much the same way anybody in the real world would. She has her two best friends there to keep her grounded and cheer her on at the same time and doing both in the most delightfully witty, snarky way possible.

This book and the other three in the series are as much about the power of best friends than it is about anything else. I love all three of these characters and if I had to live the life of anyone in any of my books, Molly's life would be in the top three, and it would be more for her friends than for the hot detective (although there wouldn't be a huge gap between them). Although I'd have to pass on the shoes; I like my feet too much to torture them daily in 3-4 inch stilettos.

There is a fair amount of fashion and designer name dropping in this series, which annoys some people; I could take it or leave it, so I usually skim over it when it gets to be too much.

The mystery was really well done; even after multiple re-reads I don't have any plot holes screaming out at me, making the murderer unexpected. The chemistry between Molly and Kyle as she continues to investigate is sizzling without ever being graphic; this book adheres to cozy mystery conventions even if it is much more chick-lit in tone and theme.

This is one of those series I was hugely disappointed to see end. If Ms. Anderson ever self published Molly, I'd be the first in line with my e-reader in hand. I miss her and her friends quite a bit. ( )

Really cute start to a series. Took a while to get into the first one, but halfway through, I couldn't put it down and am looking forward to the 2nd book! ( )

Molly Forrerster is working for a NYC magazine as an advice columnist but she has higher journalistic asperations. When she and a friend literally stumble over the murdered body of a coworker, Molly hopes to solve the crime and write the article that will lauch her career.

When I first started this book, I was not really enjoying it. I put it aside to read something else. I am so glad I went back to it. This is a very funny and entertaining chick lit mystery. Molly and her friends are sort of Sex In the City New York women. I thought I was getting a peek into single life in NYC. The mystery is OK. I sort of knew who the killer was but was not sure why until sort of late in the book. Lots of fun. ( )
