Beverly Heels Kathryn Leigh Scott
Down and Out In Beverly Heels is an awesome book! Written by actress Kathryn Leigh Scott (Josette duPres on the original Dark Shadows), it chronicles the exploits of down-on-her-luck Meg Barnes, an actress who starred in her own TV detective series, and who seemingly had it all: handsome husband, Amex Centurion card, and a shoe collection to rival Imelda Marcos. But when her husband is supposedly kidnapped, Meg finds herself sleeping in her Volvo and being stalked by a mother/son couple who are going after Meg's husband for reasons of their own. Taken in by the kindly Donna, a ditzy woman who she volunteers with at the local Meals on Wheels, Meg begins, with the help of FBI agent Jack, to piece together exactly what happened, and it's most definitely not what she thought.
The reason I enjoyed this book so much is because there was a good blend of mystery, romance, and action that kept me on my toes the entire time I was reading, and which had me rooting for Meg and her friends. As an actress herself, Ms. Scott appeared to know whereof she spoke with regards to the story, and it flowed along rather nicely.
All in all, this book is a roller-coaster ride of fun, danger, and romance that I would recommend to anyone.
Get your Beverly Heels Kathryn Leigh Scott Now!
Kathryn Leigh Scott has written a fascinating book that lets us have a peek into behind-the-scenes Hollywood and lifestyles. Our heroine, Meg, rides the roller coaster in this story and goes through many changes. It is a good mystery thriller, very well paced. Scott has woven a tapestry that is rich with characters, the Hollywood mindset, a good murder and a spunky leading lady. I highly recommend this book but fair warning!! You won't be able to put it down once you start reading it! And now the only complaint I have is that I have no more book to read! Hopefully there will be a sequel!!
BalasHapusI love the way Scott handles herself! She was such a great help too Jonathan when he was alive! I have so much admiration for Kathryn! Would buy more books of hers and tell my friends!
BalasHapusFun, murder mystery with a twist at the ending!
BalasHapusMeg Barnes and her wacky side kick, Donna leave you begging for more! Author Kathryn Leigh Scott has written a book for all who love detective stories. I for one would like to read more books of Meg Barnes and her Beverly Heels adventures!
After falling prey to a scam, Meg Barnes is hard up but still prideful. Although her remaining friends (many of her associates dumped her since they believe she's in on her husband's scam) would surely help, Meg sleeps in her car instead of accepting their charity. Just as things are starting to look up when the out-of-work actress lands a pilot, Meg starts getting harassing notes and suspects someone's following her. Despite the FBI's continued investigation into Paul's disappearance, Meg decides to hunt down her husband and finally prove her innocence.
BalasHapusThe pacing of this comedic mystery is fantastic. Kathryn Leigh Scott of Dark Shadows fame beautifully incorporates elements of Meg's acting life with her daily struggles of maintaining the fa�ade that she's not homeless. Down and Out in Beverly Heels has perfectly timed twists and reveals to keep the excitement going throughout the novel.

I really enjoyed this book and I would buy other books written by her. I also never missed her when she was on Dark Shadows. My daughters never missed it.
