She was a dead ringer. Now she’s just dead. . . .Blair Mallory lives the good life. She’s pretty, confident, and the owner of a thriving up-scale fitness center. But in the shadow of success, a troubled member of the club develops a strange fixation on Blair, imitating her style and dress. Matters take a darker turn when the look-alike is shot dead—and Blair witnesses the horror. As the media … horror.
As the media speculates on the tawdry details of the homicide and pushes Blair into the harsh spotlight, she locks horns with police lieutenant Wyatt Bloodsworth. He wants to lead an investigation without interference, while Blair is determined to probe the dead woman’s life on her own. But when someone begins to menace Blair with mounting threats, Wyatt takes notice: Was this murder indeed a lethal case of mistaken identity–and was Blair the intended victim?

Linda Howard is a superbly original storyteller.
This book was great. It made me think about the way be categorize people. Blair is the owner of a health club and not taken seriously because of her past as a cheerleader. Wyatt Bloodsworth, learns that there is more to Blair than her good looks.
This is the first in a two-book romantic suspense series featuring Blair Mallory, who is a hoot. I’m re-listening to my favorite audiobooks, and I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting with Blair as she attempts to find out who is trying to kill her. If you love humor with your thrills, this is the book to read. I wish there were a 20-book series …
I freaking love this book. I have reread it over and over to where I had to buy another as the cover fell off. I am Blair’s inner beach bunny, Tiffany. Linda Howard killed it with this book. One of my favorites.
This is the first book in “Blair Mallory Series” I love this book and have gone back to it many times. The Characters Blair and Wyatt are fun and you never know what Blair will do next…brings a flavor of what southern women are like and how they are treated by the men they love. Easy beach read and I found myself laughing several times.
This is the 1st book in the series, Drop Dead Gorgeous is the 2nd book. I already gave a review on both but I would love to see these comedic, romantic & suspenseful books made into a movie. I can see a Sandra Bullock/Melissa McCarthy type as the leading lady. I would definitely go see it!!
I have never laughed so much. Awesome book
Loved this book, as well as Drop Dead Gorgeous, both books with the same characters. I wish Linda Howard would write another book with these characters!
Hilarious and deliciously hot!
Awesome book!!
This book was an absolute hoot! I loved the characters and the wit! A scary start for a steamy romance with a villain that was not expected!
Linda Howard remains one of my favorite authors with her finely scripted work. I never let one of her offerings go by.
Was just as good the second time reading as the first. First book told from a character point view that I enjoy. I recommend this book to anyone.
Loved this book. Don’t miss out on a good read.
This book is not one of this author’s best works. I didnt finish it. The main character was to immature and clueless to believe. If you are wanting a book that is sex and not much else, by all means read it.
Loved the characters & the story but I always love her male characters !!!! Blair was too funny & I really liked her!
Linda Howard is an excellent story teller. I loved this book and have read many by her. I like the characters she builds. Love to read her books.
Love Linda Howard!!
Written in first person.
Loved it, love the chara6
