The Next Ex
()
About this ebook
Linda L. Richards takes readers on another rousing ride in The Next Ex, her second novel to feature “recovering stockbroker” Madeline Carter. Like Sunset Boulevard meets Boiler Room, with elements of classic Hollywood -- both old and new -- plus the high-paced, high tech high jinx of the contemporary financial world.
Bestselling author Gayle Lynds says: "With verve and scalpel-like precision, Richards peels back layers of power and wealth to show all of us that the past is always present, and murder is never pretty."
In The Next Ex, former stockbroker-turned-daytrader Madeline Carter agrees to teach the indulged wife of an A-list movie producer about the stock market. When said wife turns up dead, Madeline finds herself in the middle of a series of murders while inadvertently opening up a 40-year old cold case.
Award-winning mystery author Laura Lippman, writes that The Next Ex “is a Hollywood crime novel for people who love that particular subgenre -- and even for those who think they don't. A bracingly intelligent whodunit."
