内容简介
Bestselling author Mortman(Rightfully Mine,etc.)presents another blockbuster with this eighth novel,which features an ex-movie star who runs a powerful,Martha Stewart-like empire.Vera Hart is the 59-year-old "Goddess of Perfection"behind Hart Line International (HLI),and her company's array of makeup,fashion,decorating and cooking products has a devoted following.She's also the cool-as-ice matriarch of a seriously dysfunctional family.Her daughters,Greta and Martie,who were separated in youth by their parents' divorce,"can't stand each other."And their sibling rivalry heats up even more when Vera appoints Martie to head a new line of HLI skin products at the same time that she hires the daughter's mutual love interest,attorney Bryan Chalmers,to look into some serious problems at HLI,including Enron-like fiscal shenanigans,poisoned lipsticks,death threats and murders.Can all that's wrong be just a coincidence,or is one mastermind behind it all?Mortman hits hard on all fronts,giving readers enough love entanglements to keep romance readers hooked while delivering enough suspense to please thriller fans as well.Particularly strong are her portrayals of working mothers and sorrowful childhoods.And the fact that Martie is a decorated officer and talented doctor,plagued by memories of her experiences as a POW during Desert Storm,gives credibility to her tough thinking while connecting the novel to current political events.All in all,Mortman layers on the suspense like so much rich mascara,leaving readers eager for the outcome of the murder investigations,the love triangle and the Hart family compact.
