From Library Journal

Attorney-turned-novelist Martini (Undue Influence, LJ 6/15/94) writes about attorney-turned-novelist Abby Chandlis, who stretches the practice of ghost-writing to an extreme and perilous level. Fearful that glamour instead of grammar sells books in today's shallow publishing industry, Chandlis creates Gable Cooper, a strong, handsome, but definitely fictitious alter ego who as "author" of her new novel should assure its success. Possessed of these qualities, rugged Jack Jermaine seems ideal for the role. However, his spooky past and dangerous tendencies soon cause Abby to regret the entire scheme. This is a competent thriller, but many readers may find difficulty sympathizing with protagonist Chandlis. Recommended only for comprehensive suspense collections.?John Noel, Tennessee Tech Univ.

From Booklist

In a change of venue from his courtroom settings, Martini embeds his latest mystery in the cynical world of blockbuster-book publishing. The premise: Abby Chandlis discovers that literary agents, hitherto bored by her thriller, perk up when she hides her authorship and attributes it to a male writer. Apparently nothing sells better than a first novel from a hunk with face-by-Fabio. She must tell somebody about her scam, if only to protect her contracts and copyrights, so Abby chooses reliable Morgan Spencer from her Seattle law firm. She also confides in her pal Theresa. While Morgan handles the paperwork, Abby hires a low-IQ beefcake, who then passes on the poseur's role to his brother, Jack Jermaine, an ex^-special forces marine schooled in sabotage and deception. Ducks finally in a row, Abby and Jack go to New York and succesfully hoodwink the agent and the "Big-F" publishing company, who then showers Abby with millions and demands for an instant sequel. Abby repairs to St. Croix to work on it, but she becomes terrified by her discoveries about Jack's background and his possible presence at the suspicious murders of Theresa and her ex-husband. Martini deftly conceals the killer until the flaming finale. His satirical skewering of high-octane publishing only increases this book's "buzz," which the real publisher's all-fronts publicity offensive will strive to amplify--and justify--in a 400,000-copy press run.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Boring, boring, boring is all I can say!!, Jui 28 2004
Par H. Beitzel "beitzh" (Chagrin Falls, OH) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: List (Paperback)
This is probably one of the slowest books I've ever read. If you want to know everything there is to know about publishing a book, then you will like this book, but I could care less. He goes into too many details about "the trials" of publishing and not enough about the mystery and storyline. I kept thinking, who cares, what's the point!!!??? The story line is pretty lame. A lawyer who is a part time writer becomes disillusioned with the publishing world. She writes a best seller and hires this mystery man, who is actually a mercenary, to be pretend he's the writer. Of course he is wildly popular with his good looks, give me a break! This is definately not one of his better books!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Can't wait to read more Martini, Fév 11 2004

This review is from: List (Paperback)
The List was an excellent novel. By keeping the characters simple to understand, he was able to maintain a fast pace throughout the book. I am new to reading this author, but this particular book was a joy to read. The backdrop, the publishing industry, is not a common theme. I was blown away by what it would actually take for a good story to make it to the top. If I ever finish my first novel, I hope I don't have to follow Abby's path to stardom.

I'm afraid I don't agree with the other reviewers. This is not the Martini I've come to respect. If you're about to read your first Martini, start with another book.
