"Ageless" Hollywood diva Jessica Gray is finishing the last leg of her one-woman show in St. Louis, Missouri, and the nearby town of Chouteau Forest is dazzled. During the show, she humiliates three homeless women onstage, fires her entourage - not for the first time - and makes a bitter enemy of the town's powerful patriarch.

After she collapses at an after-show party and is rushed to the hospital, she ignores the advice of her doctors and discharges herself in order to return to LA. On the way to the airport, she suffers a deadly coughing fit. It was poison. When Angela Richman's friend, Mario, is arrested for the murder and faces the death penalty, she is compelled to investigate.

With so many grudges held against the actress and Mario's life on the line, the stakes are higher than ever.

This is the third book in the Angela Richman Death Investor series. This book can be listened to as a stand alone but I would suggest listening to this series in order. The protagonist in this series has had some major life altering challenges and it’s interesting to see the character’s development.
This book has multiple murders and a few storylines. There are locals committing crimes against the homeless. There’s spousal abuse which leads to murder. But the central story is that of the murder of an aging star and her husband who is 35 years her junior. But if course there are a few red herrings so don’t let yourself think it’s going to be that easy.
Tanya Eby does a fantastic job narrating.
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
