4.0�toiles sur 5 If you like Stephanie Plum, try this, Oct. 28 2002

This review is from: What's a Girl Gotta Do? (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked this book up because Sparkle Hayter is going to be the Mistress of Ceremonies for Bouchercon this year. I'd never read her books, but when I saw the cover of this one, I thought it looked fun. I'm happy to say it was. I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Robin Hudson, not-so-mild-mannered TV journalist. Robin's having a rough time right now...her husband left her for a much younger woman, she's been demoted to Special Reports due to a couple of fairly serious on-air faux pas, and now someone's trying to kill her.

I got a total kick out of this book because I liked the heroine immediately, and according to my brother and his wife, the newsroom stuff is dead-on accurate. This book isn't laugh out loud funny like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books, but I liked the character and story just as well. I'm going to read the rest of the books in this series.

4.0�toiles sur 5 New York TV scene, Ao� 19 2001

Par	D. P. Birkett (Suffern, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: What's a Girl Gotta Do? (Mass Market Paperback)

A funny mystery set in a New York TV news network. It is something of a roman a clef with some characters based on real life. Moderately well plotted (although loose ends in the sperm bank sub-plot) and moderately funny. I thought "Nice Girls Finish Last" was better but you should really read this one first because the murder suspects are fellow TV workers and some of them turn up in the later books.

Par	Patrick Burnett "penngos" (San Francisco, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: What's a Girl Gotta Do? (Mass Market Paperback)

Which is not to say it is a bad book, by any means. Unpolished, maybe, but not bad.

Sparkle Hayter has created a hapless alter-ego in Robin Hudson, newswoman for the thinly-disguised ANN, 24-hour news network. Robin has been in better positions, but has been steadily dropping off the radar scope due to some poorly-timed mistakes. This serves to make Robin a likeable underdog for whom we root with gusto.

The plot: Someone is blackmailing ANN's on-air personalities. The blackmailer is murdered. Now Robin and her coworkers are all suspects. That's it.

It's pretty easy to follow, being an uncomplicated romp through the back rooms of live television news, and has its humorous moments,but is overall a "commute" book - one to read while on the train, or stuck in traffic, or waiting for a dalayed plane. There really isn't enough here to engage a fully-attentive brain.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Fast, funny and wry. A mystery, too.
Hayter is a great writer. Robin, her fictional heroine, sizes up people and situations with lightning speed and acerbic wit. Read more
