Summary: A mystery writer she's not.
Review: A disappointing book from a usually excellent writer. However, if you are going to write a murder mystery, then you should consider having motive and opportunity and supposedly highly qualified investigators actually considering this aspect. No one in this book considers either including the author. I also don't think it is necessary to have ignorant main characters just to have action. Still even with a horrible plot and weak characters her book has a good pull.

Summary: THis is my First Heather Grahm Book
Review: I have always enjoyed reading Ms Graham's books. But I'll tell you she wasn't even close to her previous romantic suspense thrillers. The characters were weak. The dialoge stunk. This is suppose to be a murder mystery where everyone is a suspect. A lot of twisted personalities in the this story. It was easy to discount the obvious but the actual bad guy was a real stretch. Don't waste your money on this one.

Summary: Not worth the money
Review: I haven't been very impressed with this author in the past, but as a soap opera fan, I expected to like this trilogy. I was mistaken.The book really wasn't that suspenseful, and I was disappointed to find that due to the poor construction of the story, I'd managed to figure out whodunnit it extremely early in my reading, and never even wavered from it to suspect anyone else. While I didn't mind the main characters (though I didn't exactly like them), I really didn't like any of the numerous secondary characters, most especially Jennifer. Even though she wasn't a very major part of this book, as soon as I started reading, everything I hated about her in the first book of the trilogy came flooding back so that I cringed each time I read her name. The main problem I have with this author is that the dialogue between characters seems very forced and contrived...and ends up sounding very unnatural. I also find myself bothered by her constant use of the words "hell" and "damn," which she seems to toss in wherever she can get away with it, whether it's appropriate or not, in order to punch up the writing and make it more...I don't know...dramatic, maybe. I don't like to leave things unfinished, so I'll most likely pick up a copy of the next one at the library or a used bookstore. However, after that, my days of reading Ms. Graham will be over.

Summary: Really Keeps You Going Until The End!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a little bit hard to get into, but definitely worth the wait. I don't know why this book has so many negative comments. I surely didn't guess who the culprit was, and just ended up reading through the night.

During a fit over having the TV show hire her own personal makeup man, a huge spotlight falls from the ceiling, killing Jane.

Ms. Graham does it once more with this Valentine Valley tale that never slows down for a moment. Readers who try Ms. Graham for the first time will quickly be DYING TO HAVE HER long list of fantastic romantic suspense thrillers. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Not worth the money
Review: Once again Ms. Graham takes us to the fictional soap opera, Valentine Valley that she wrote about in her previous novel. A new costar is mysterious murder. Clues disappear; accidents begin to happen without reason. The target seems to be Serena McCormack, the temptress everyone loves to hate on the soap opera. In order to protect their star, management hires Liam Murphy. Murphy was once a police officer, but now is a private detective. He knows how to protect Serena since they were once lovers. Everyone begins to fall under suspicion, from the stars to writers to directors, even the people who handle advertisement. I enjoyed Ms. Graham previous novel about the fictional soap opera Valentine Valley. I thought it was campy and just sounded like a soap opera. However, I did not enjoy Dying to Have Her. In fact, I almost didn't finish it and I always try to finish a book, hoping it will get better. Instead of having characters that I could like and care for, I found myself irritated with them. The characters seemed overly dramatic and just plain silly. The plot was weak and didn't keep me in suspense. As much as I like Ms. Graham's contemporaries, I do wish I had read the reviews on this one before I bought it. I could have saved myself some money.
