I said the last book from this series would be the last one I read but I changed my mind and I'm so glad I did. This book is so much better than the last book! In this book there is a big film production at to Salem and disrupting Lee's and everyone at Salem's lives. The film production is everything everyone can talk about and there are lots of rumors about the diva who is the film's star. When she winds up dead Lee and Pete (who isn't insufferable in this book) team up and actually get some investigating done quickly to figure out who killed her. 

I cannot stress enough how the attitude change from Pete made this book so much better. It could also be that he wasn't in the book as much, I'm a certified Pete hater so that might have done it for me. I really like Lee and most of the cast of characters so it was really nice revisiting Salem and the WICH-TV crew. I thought the mystery was very easy to solve so I deducted one star but I still had a good time finding out how the characters get there. Last, I would recommend reading the previous books since there is very little background in this one, but I'm sure you can just pick it up without knowing the lore and enjoy it. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Kensington Publishing | Kensington Cozies, and Carol J. Perry for giving me the opportunity to read this book in advance. All opinions are my own.
