About this audiobook
Molly Pink and her crochet group, the Tarzana Hookers, are thrilled when one of their own gets a shot at the spotlight-but Molly soon learns that life in the entertainment biz can be deadly . . .
The crochet group's informal leader, actress CeeCee Collins, has a movie out, and she's scheduled to appear on a famous talk show. Molly and the girls are excited to tag along, but when one of the Hookers is ejected from the audience for her excited behavior, she manages to drag Molly along with her.
It's no fun being stuck in the waiting room, but things really unravel when a producer drinks a cup of coffee with poisoned sweetener. To make matters worse, CeeCee's niece Nell-a production assistant on the show, is the one who served up the spiked drink. Molly and the Hookers must set aside their crochet projects to clear Nell's name and find the killer-before someone else becomes the next Hollywood headline . . .

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I cannot stand Barry, and Molly’s insistence to make excuses for his possessive and toxic behavior.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Molly Pink is a widow who works as an events coordinator for a local bookstore, and also belongs to their crocheting club, the Tarzana Hookers. She reluctantly attends a program taping of a show that their celebrity member, CeeCee Collins, is going to be on, and unfortunately, it's because CeeCee has asked her to control another member, Adele. It seems Adele isn't happy that the host of the show is going to be having another program about knitting being calming, and Adele would rather the woman learn to crochet instead.When Adele causes a scene -- as everyone knew she would -- Molly gets caught up in the ruckus as she and Adele are escorted backstage for the rest of the duration. But the woman watching them, Robyn, isn't happy about her situation, and demands that the production assistant -- CeeCee's niece Nell -- bring her tea. Then she demands that she bring her the special sweetener she uses, and when Robyn drops dead in front of them it isn't long before Nell is accused of murdering her.A frantic CeeCee begs Molly to investigate and find the real murderer, and Molly finds herself secretly sleuthing again...but that's not the only thing going on: her private life is in havoc, too. Her love interest, homicide detective Barry Greenberg, is pressuring her to get married, sell her home, and move into a condo. Molly's hemming about it right now, but she knows she'll have to make a decision soon -- unless the killer finds her first, then the decision will be made for her...This is the sixth book in the series and I've probably enjoyed it more than the rest. It was a little more involved, with Molly's investigating front and center, and I liked that. I also liked the fact that she can think fast, and doesn't put herself knowingly in situations that can harm her and she doesn't run head first without someone else there with her.It also had Adele - Molly's one-time nemesis - opening up a little, and that was nice to see. It was interesting to learn a little more about one of Molly's other co-workers. I like this little insight into their lives, one at a time. It makes you part of their "family."The book also kept the murderer at bay, but I figured out who it was a lot earlier than Molly did; but then again, as I've stated before, I read a lot of mysteries so I can follow the clues pretty easily. However, I did like the way the murderer was caught, and it was definitely a different take on catching a killer. That being said, I will read the next in the series. Recommended.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5CeeCee is a guest on a talk show promoting her new movie, Her crochet clan has come to watch. The producer drops dead in the green room in front of Molly and CeeCee and CeeCee's niece becomes the prime suspect. The crochet clan set to work to find who and why the murder occurred.I thought the plot was a bit forced and the reader didn't really get a sense of te niece to really be rooting for her.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Molly and her crochet group are at a filming of a talk show, promoting CeeCee’s new movie. While in a waiting room, a producer drops dead in front of Molly, and CeeCee’s niece gets blamed for the death. It’s one thing after another as Molly runs around, trying to get proof to save Nell. Her relationship with Barry takes a hit, too. Enough scary things happen to keep readers involved and flipping pages, and like too many serial books, it ends on a cliff-hanger. Well written and with interesting and entertaining characters, this series just keeps getting better.
