Glamourpuss : [a novel]

Christian McLaughlin

Compromises Glamourpuss 1 and 2. "I had put a lethal dose of poison into Cyrinda's milk shake two weeks before, but the bitch had lived through it," confesses evil Simon Arable, main character of the soap opera Heart's Crossing, as the novel opens. In real life, Simon is Alex Young-funny, hunky, witty and gay. And thereby hangs a tale: a delicious and gossipy behind-the-scenes peek at daytime TV, a frenetic take on closet doors being involuntarily flung open, a slightly syrupy saga of Alex pining for the guy back home in Texas he can't have.
