The days of Assistant D.A. Alexandra Cooper often start off badly, but she's never faced the morning by reading her own obituary before
It doesn't take long to sort out why it was printed: a woman's body with her face blown away, left in a car rented in Coop's name in the driveway of her weekend home. But it isn't so easy to work out why her lodger - an acclaimed Hollywood star - was murdered, or to be sure that the killer had found the right victim.

Sorry calalilly that it took me so long to journal that I've received this book. I thought I had done it, but I think it got put in my suitcase before I got near the computer. I started the book while I was house sitting, but it wasn't quite right for that situation where I was alone at night in an isolated area so I postponed it until now.

This is the first book in a large series of books about Alexandra Cooper and I liked it. I can't say I thought it was brilliant, but first books in a series are very often more about setting up the characters than giving a good plot and I think this was the case here. I'll definitely read more in the series and hope for a better plot next time.
