Genuine Lies by Nora Roberts

3.0

Legendary movie star Eve Benedict has decided to tell her story. She asks Julia Summers to write an authorized biography and moves Julia and her young son Brandon onto her estate. There is opposition from many quarters, even including Eve's step-son, Paul Winthrop, but Eve is determined and Julia is thrilled for the opportunity, even though she must uproot Brandon again.

Eve's stories are exciting and she shows Julia her Hollywood life, but then the notes come. Innocuous, even trite, sayings that somehow seem threatening. Eve promises to take care of them and Julia agrees to let her. But the sense of danger around her grows with each new story from Eve's life.

Three stars because it's easy to read and Eve and Julia are wonderful characters. Truthfully so is Paul. But this is an older book, so the relationship had to start with dislike and I hate that. Truly. In fact, I really disliked the tone that was set by the opening scene, but I kept going and things were mostly redeemed. It was a fun and light book.
