About this audiobook
A “Dead is the New Fabulous” Mystery (#1)
“Lindsay Maracotta has created in Lucy an exhilarating smart and sassy character. Her insider’s take crackles with fresh insight and laugh-out-loud one-liners.” —Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
“Killingly amusing. Lindsay Maracotta wields the sharpest tongue since Nora Ephron banged out Heartburn. The book’s social observations are right on the money.” —The Chicago Tribune
In the tradition of Janet Evanovich, comes a smart and sassy first mystery about family values—Hollywood style.
Animation filmmaker Lucy Frampton seemingly has it all—the glamorous mansion, adorable child and too-handsome-for-his-own-good producer husband. But Lucy has something her famous neighbors do not: a nude, wannabe starlet floating dead in her swimming pool!!!
When she and her husband become the prime suspects in the high-profile murder investigation, Lucy knows she’s going to have to clear her own name—especially when she finds out that the enterprising victim had set her sights on Lucy’s husband!
In a world of sex, lies, and iPhones, it’s up to Lucy to find the killer…lest she find herself as the next Fabulous victim!!!

Drawing on these experiences, she began writing for magazines and the non-fiction book "The Sad-Eyed Ladies." Her first novel, "Hide and Seek:, was a mass market best seller. "Everything We Wanted" was a Publisher’s Weekly bestseller, a Literary Guild selection, an English and translated into six languages. Next was the critically acclaimed “Dead Hollywood” series (ebook: “Dead Fabulous” series). Accolades: Mystery Ink Book of the Year; People Magazine Beach Book of the Week; a Sisters in Crime Best Book, and various Ten Best Mystery lists. Writing as Lindsay Graves, she published The Ex-Wives series with Ballentine Books. She currently lives in the Hollywood Hills with her husband, a feature film producer, and two cats who are always ready for their close-ups.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Entertaining, fluffy, witty. Get the gossip on Hollywood, the insider jargon on film-making and self-promotion, and meet a woman who thinks she knows more about sleuthing than the LA police
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book. A well written crime mystery with a great plot. The narrator was phenomenal. She spoke clear, added great emotions as she read, and allowed for great voice changes w each character.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it! Light and refreshing after too many heavy murder mystery books. A good upbeat listen
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very witty, funny. Didn't see the end coming and didn't figure it out ?
