Summary: Great book.
Review: I loved this book. My husband loved this book (once he got over the cover!). It is never boring and doesn't have dull spots. And the characters, even the minor ones, are well developed and realistic. My first copy got ruined in the rain. I got another one and it was just as good on the second read as the first.

Summary: If you like Stephanie Plum, try this
Review: 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.

Summary: Loved it!!!
Review: 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!

Summary: Wonderful Fun With A Point
Review: Reporter Robin Hudson discovers she is being investigated by a private eye but before she can find out why,he's murdered. She's not the only woman at the All News Network being investigated. This book made me think about several sex scandals that have been in the news. A word of advice, read this series in order. I did not and wish I had.

Summary: Fabulous glamour real girl meets strange world.
Review: 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!

Summary: Wonderful Fun With A Point
Review: Robin Hudson is a news reporter with a career on the fall. It seems that whenever she gets a break, she proceeds to embaress herself and the prestigious broadcasting company she works for. Like the time she was given the job of temporary White House correspondant and beched while standing under a super sensitive microphone at a press conference. After this disgrace, she was placed on the networks cash-cow, the Special Reports division, only to find out her husband was cheating on her with a 23 year old. Robin's frank outlook on her situation, and rather bad attitude lend humor to some rather unhumorous situations. She attends the Network's New Years Eve party because she recieved a mysterious phone call from a P.I. who has been hired to investigate her and other on-air "talent" that work for her company. After the party, the P.I. turns up dead, and the police have some incriminating evidence, against her. Plagued by other maladies like a machoistic boss, a report on a Sperm Bank that has been mixing up donor's "fluids", and a transvestite boyfriend, Robin tries to get to the bottom of the murder, and find out why she, of all people was being investigated. This was a hilarious book. The mix of mystery and humor leaves little to be desired. Ms. Hayter writes very smoothly, and with good humor.

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