Title: French Ghost (Book 1: Paris Ghost Writer Chronicles)
Author: Corinne LaBalme
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Book Blurb:
Ghost-writer Melody Layne is stranded in Paris when the over-sexed but unloved French movie star who hired her to produce his memoir dies before the interviews begin. It’s a major financial relief when his enigmatic Spanish son re-hires her, but the seductive Carlos Ortega is strangely silent about his reasons for funding a feel-good bio about a father that he clearly despised. There's enough romance in the air for Melody to ignore this apparent paradox… at least until she uncovers a hidden cache of very personal death threats addressed to the actor. Some of them were mailed from Madrid…
Excerpt:
I’ve watched enough CSI to know that you can get DNA trace from anything that makes lip contact.
Whose side was I on here?
The sexy Spanish skinflint who was paying me?
The Swedish supermodel who hated me?
The dead creep who hired me in the first place?
My side.
That’s whose side I was on. Trying not to overthink
the ethical issue, I slipped the straw into a plastic bag.
I wasn’t sure what I’d do with it yet.
However, when it came to information, I felt it was
better to ‘have’ than to ‘have not’.
