But Sunny''s investigation reveals that the reviewer and Melanie have a rich history – in fact, she may even have good reason to hate the torn-up author. And when Book Babe suddenly turns up dead, casting Melanie as a possible suspect, Sunny finds herself in a complicated web, which, if she can''t untangle fast enough, might just put a target on her back.
