Greeting card designer and serial dater Wollie Shelley returns in Harley Jane Kozak's delightful third novel Dead Ex. When Wollie's ex-boyfriend, a terminally-ill soap opera producer, is murdered, her best friend (who also dated him) is the prime suspect. Wollie must jump headfirst into the shark-infested waters of Hollywood to find out what really happened and clear her friend's name. Dead Ex is a charming book with a well-done mystery and plenty of fun characters.
