Miami police reporter Britt Montero is unwillingly assigned a task most would relish?teaching a famous action-movie actor the ropes of the business to help him prepare for his role in the upcoming film Margin of Error. Despite being all business, Britt nevertheless becomes romantically involved with Lance and then finds her own life in danger as a deranged fan's stalkings become increasingly violent. Although timely and intriguing, the plot unravels at a snail's pace, with implausible developments, an excess of subplots, and gratuitous sex, which is more clinical than provocative. In addition, the "telephone" sound effect is annoying rather than authentic, although reader Sandra Burr handles the many characters with subtle yet distinctive voice changes. Buchanan would have served her audience better by sticking to the mystery rather than the "romance" of this tale.?Susan McCaffrey, Sturgis Middle Sch., Mich.
