    About this ebook

    In the second installment of Susan McBride’s Debutante Dropout mystery series, Dallas heiress Andrea Kendricks must expose a high-society assassin … before she becomes the killer’s next target.

    Website designer and high-society rebel Andrea Kendricks would never have gotten involved with ego-in-pumps lifestyle hostess Marilee Mabry if it weren’t for the underhanded machinations of Andy’s upper-crust mama. But thanks to Mother Cissy, Andy’s donning designer duds to attend a launch party at the intolerable domestic diva’s new Dallas TV studio—and she’s on hand to witness the celebration site go up in flames!

    Then Andy finds Marilee’s daughter, seemingly lifeless. Even though iron-willed Cissy isn’t about to let her social calendar be upset by minor inconveniences like arson and possibly murder, her sometime-sleuthing daughter’s got a more pressing engagement—namely, hunting down the culprit behind some very foul play.

    But there are more than a few nasty messes tucked away in the Mabry closet—and a craven assassin who has the Big D elite quaking in their cowboy boots may soon be burying Andy in hers!

      It is refreshing (to me) to read a girly mystery in which computers figure and the (sympathetic, witty) heroine's day job is webmaster. (Will the occasional references to recent news events be jarring when reread in 10 or 20 years? Possibly not, but it jarred me briefly to wonder that: and to have to discern from context which articles of clothing various brand-names were meant to betoken. I'm so unhip.) The mystery was all right; the killer was neither too obvious nor insufficiently telegraphed. One thing still puzzles me even though it was, I think, ultimately explained away.
