Beloved soap star Alexis Peterson has been asked to be a presenter at the Daytime Emmy Awards.  When her co-star is a no-show for rehearsal, as well as the live broadcast, Alex prepares to present the award without him.  Her efforts are cut short when the body of Jackson Masters (the missing actor) makes a grisly appearance on live television--nearly dropping on top of her!  This latest brush with murder has Alex soon dusting off her Nancy Drew-like instincts and associating with the handsome detective, Frank Jakes.  Dissatisfied in her current relationship with boyfriend Paul, Alex promises herself that she will explore her attraction to Frank Jakes while assisting with the murder investigation as an industry insider with a knack for solving mysteries...

DIAL EMMY FOR MURDER is the thrilling second installment in actress/author Eileen Davidson's Soap Opera Mysteries.  A fast-paced and smooth narrative with vibrant characters and edge-of-your-seat mystery, DIAL EMMY FOR MURDER is sure to delight the most discerning cozy mystery or soap opera fan.  Alex is an all around good heroine who, despite having a profession which is larger-than-life, remains grounded with the help of friends and family.  I simply adore her!  Jakes for his part is equally likable and together, he and Alex make a yummy pair.  This book is one which begs to be enjoyed in a single sitting and would be an excellent choice for enjoyment poolside or at the beach.  I cannot wait for more!  Recommended!
