Clar Turner quit the porn-star business, leaving behind her Kandi Kyses persona to return her hometown and open a candy store. Until her BFF, Levi, is beaten and left for dead during filming. Now, she must become Kandi once again to find who’s responsible, and why her candy wrappers were at the scene of the crime. She calls upon her mentor to help assist in finding answers.
Reporter Jimmy O’Brien finds out the woman he’s loved and protected for years is on the “porn star” killer’s hit list. After Levi’s assault, Jimmy is both surprised and happy to see Clar back in LA. What he’s not thrilled about is her becoming Kandi again or the fact that a dirty detective he’s had a run-in with before is on the case.
Danger and secrets lurk around every corner. Passion mounts, but can they uncover the killer before he takes his revenge?
I love the the writing of Maxine Douglas. She is a superb mystery writer and her characters are vivid and come to life on every page. I floundered a bit in the beginning while trying to keep up with the characters as their introductions made me feel as if I was missing something because there were several characters who I felt were from other stories. Once I got a handle on each character and where they fit in Clar’s world I enjoyed the mystery and was shocked and never saw the killer coming.
