Robin Hudson's one tough cookie --
-- And so she should be if she's to survive her reversals of fortune at work and in love. Relagated to an undesireable job at the TV station where she works (due to un-couthness during a live White House broadcast) and demoted to the title of ex-wife, Robin seems to be one of those people to whom trouble is perpetually attracted. Having to face the ex's chipper young...

Most Interesting Thing about this Book is the Author's Name
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...

If you like Stephanie Plum, try this, Oct. 28 2002
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.

New York TV scene, Aoû 19 2001
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.

Most Interesting Thing about this Book is the Author's Name, Juil 31 2000
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.

Robin Hudson's one tough cookie --, Jui 11 2000
-- And so she should be if she's to survive her reversals of fortune at work and in love. Relagated to an undesireable job at the TV station where she works (due to un-couthness during a live White House broadcast) and demoted to the title of ex-wife, Robin seems to be one of those people to whom trouble is perpetually attracted. Having to face the ex's chipper young 'other woman' *and* deal with a murdered blackmailer requires all the resourcefulness Robin can muster.The 'who' in whodunit came as a surprise to me. This is my first book by Sparkle Hayter, but it won't be the last.

Very Funny!, Nov. 8 1999
Par Un client
While this book is classified a mystery, it's more about life in an office setting and the lead characters view about her co-workers. I wish I could say some of the things she does to her boss!The mystery does seem a little over complicated at times but it was refreshing to see the mystery unfold by someone who wasn't totally into the murder investigation and didn't have all this insider information. More believable. Will be going to look for other books in the series this weekend.

What a talent...., Aoû 21 1999
Par Un client
I am so glad I discovered this author! She has a wonderful, lively writing style that grabs your attention, and doesn't let go. And I was actually surprised by "whodunit", which is unusual for me. I am ordering more books by the author today!

Fast, funny and wry. A mystery, too., Juil 12 1999
Par Un client
Hayter is a great writer. Robin, her fictional heroine, sizes up people and situations with lightning speed and acerbic wit. I would pay her to hang out at my office and write about what she sees.The book is a mystery, but I didn't notice. I was more interested in listening to Robin get herself in trouble with her superiors, insult her detractors and describe the overall state of her disheveled life. I imagine Hayter can do well in most genres, both fiction and non-fiction.

Loved it!!!, Fév 18 1999
Par Un client
I've been in such a reading funk lately- not having much of an attention span to read anything but the newspaper or magazines the past 2 months but Hayter's book was such fun that I was glued to it from start to finish. I can't wait to read her other books!

Fabulous glamour real girl meets strange world., Nov. 30 1998
Par Un client
Robin Hudson is a dame's dame. She might be a ordinary woman trapped in Rita Hayworth's body, but, she's definitely the kind of woman you want on your side in a fight or at least, you want her cat on your side. She's not perfect, she doesn't have men swooning at her feet and she hates her job -- how close is that to real life? The Robin Hudson books are mind candy with vitamins and minerals. A definite must read!

Fast-paced and humorous murder mystery, Aoû 23 1998
Par Un client
Although the murder mystery aspects of the plot are straight forward, it is the author's humor that moves the book forward at a rapid pace. Robin Hudson is not your typical fictional sleuth, because she spends more time working than investigating murder mysteries. Robin's caustic wit is the highlight of the book, and one that could sustain a continuing series.
