Book by Hope McIntyre

I never imagined for one second that I would ever have a book - any book, let alone a crime novel - published for the simple reason that I am seriously lacking in education. I only went to school for three years, and until recently I had an inferiority complex about this. Now I feel like saying Listen, if I can do it - and I've had ten books published - anybody can!
*Starred Review* Its flippant title aside, this sparkling debut is a winner all the way. It stars Londoner Lee Bartholomew, one of the most engaging protagonists to come along in ages. As clueless about love as Bridget Jones and as filled with neuroses as Inspector Morse, Lee barely survives each day without some new calamity threatening to destroy her world. Her vulnerabilities make her all the more lovable, both to readers and to the two very different men in her life: dependable long-term boyfriend Tommy and the dashing and dangerous Buzz Kempinski. In this adventure, Lee, who works as a ghostwriter, agrees to work with soap-star Selma Walker on a tell-all book, but she is distracted by a series of mysterious fires in her colorful Notting Hill neighborhood. Meanwhile, Lee can't seem to put out the fire between her and Buzz, Selma's manager. Colorful characters populate the book, from Lee's zany mother to her saucy young boarder. The pseudonymous McIntyre knows exactly how to temper the wacky parts of her story with more serious bits, balancing the whole stew perfectly. Both hilarious and heart wrenching, this beguiling mix of chick lit and hip thriller--Helen Fielding meets Janet Evanovich--is the must-read of the crime-fiction fall season. Jenny McLarin

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Although she loves her boyfriend Tommy, Lee is suffering from commitment phobia because, as a ghost-writer, she values her privacy above all elseand she can't bear his mess. At the same time, though, she doesn't really like living alone in her big, creaky old house in Notting Hill. But whilst Lee tries to remain in denial about the state of her crumbling home, a neighbour is suddenly killed in a fire, and it looks like arson. Lee's latest commission, ghosting the autobiography soap opera star, seems to offer her an escape from her problems at home. Until she meets her subject's smoulderingly sexy manager, and finds herself compulsively attracted to him. But then Lee is drawn into a murder investigation as there is a second fire and another murder closer to home. As her home deteriorates further and her precious privacy comes under increasing pressure from all sides, could it be that Lee herself is in danger? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003615151
