Beginning:
Once again, Hannah was dreaming about the magic shoes.Friday 56:
The parole officer's name was McAuliffe; he was a burly forty-something with a sparse brown mustache that looked like the residue from a slurp of coffee, or maybe a prankster's satire of Hitler.
The golden girl wife of a celebrity producer takes a lethal dose of poison in her bedroom. Twenty years later, her daughter Hannah is convicted of stealing a hundred thousand dollar necklace. And when Hannah attempts to change from wild child to purposeful young woman, she begins to uncover secrets that will make her the target for murder. A suspenseful and witty page-turner that combines a murder mystery and a love story, with Hollywood financial intrigue and the unearthing of old family secrets.
The descriptive writing grabbed me right away. Sounds like fun to me.

Usually a cover grabs me first, but this time your teasers made me read on.
