Synopsis
It's the peak of the tourist season on the beautiful Connecticut gold coast. But this is no ordinary July for the picture-perfect village of Dorset-or for transplanted New York film critic Mitch Berger and his alluring love, Resident State Trooper Desiree Mitry. When famous, and combustible, movie star Tito Molino plunges to his death from a cliff just outside town, Des's investigation-along with a ravenous celebrity press corps and gawkers by the thousands-threatens to reveal secrets too terrible to imagine. But just when things seem to be at their worst, Mitch and Des's close friends are suddenly implicated in the case, and suspicion falls even on Mitch himself...

From Publishers Weekly
In Handler's delightful third outing (after 2002's Hot Pink Farmhouse) starring beautiful black state trooper Desiree "Des" Mitry and transplanted New Yorker and renowned film critic Mitch Berger, the unlikely but dynamic duo get mixed up with movie stars and murder in the picturesque village of Dorset, Conn. The arrival of "breathtakingly gorgeous Academy Award winner" Esme Crockett and her husband, "combustible blue-eyed Latino heartthrob" Tito Molina, promises a far more exciting summer than usual for Dorset residents with hordes of reporters and stargazers. When Tito falls to his death from a cliff, the authorities suspect suicide, but Des, a former homicide detective, thinks otherwise. She joins forces with Mitch in an investigation that in the end shatters forever the squeaky-clean image of Dorset's elite. While Mitch has finally become acclimated to simple village life, he returns in one of the novel's more affecting episodes to New York, where he tries to dispel some of the painful memories of his deceased wife and introduce Des to the energy and pulse of the city. With its vivid setting, quirky and unusual characters, and fast-paced plot skillfully interwoven with movie trivia, this cozy with attitude is sure to satisfy Handler's many committed fans and attract new ones.

Condition: Fine. Handler's Berger and Mitry series stands out from the crowd in a couple of ways. First, its romantically involved protagonists are a genuine odd coupl e: chubby Jewish film critic Mitch Berger and gorgeous African American sta te trooper Desiree Mitry. Second, the series' setting--Connecticut's Gold C oast shoreline--is hardly a common locale for crime fiction. Handler makes the most of these elements in this enjoyable third installment of the serie s. The tiny village of Dorset is besieged with paparazzi and tourists when hunky actor Tito Molina and his sexy actress wife, Esme, come to stay with Esme's family. When Tito plunges off a cliff to his death, Trooper Mitry su spects foul play. Berger's terrible review of Tito's latest movie--and his subsequent fistfight with the hot-tempered actor--catapult him directly int o the prime-suspect position. And why was Tito wearing one of Mitch's shirt s? Berger and Mitry make a great couple on many levels, and Handler does an outstanding job of describing the colorful townspeople and their various p eccadilloes. Nick and Nora updated for modern times. Seller Inventory # RWARE0000015841
