Product Description
Rock musician Andy Rivers has hordes of adoring fans and campaigns for one good cause after another. So why would anyone want him dead? It begins harmlessly enough: mild vandalism, funeral flowers left on the bonnet of his car, but suddenly it becomes clear that Andy's persecutor is deadly serious.

The main character, Sophie Rivers is the most irritating, nosey meddling person ever. Not sure whether this is the authors intention but there it is. This book is mediocre, not particularly thrilling and is very far fetched with the main character doing ridiculous things - such as an English lecturer meddling with airport security as though it's her normal behaviour.
I have read a number of Judith Cutlers books, maybe because she attended the same school as me but I'm sorry to say I now find them a struggle to read, there is a similar plot to all of them and I find them somewhat annoying!
On the brighter side, this is an easy read, easy to follow and I did find it a relaxing book to read as a wind down from the day.

Fourth in the Sophie Rivers Lecturer and Amateur Sleuth Series
7 May 2012
Format:Hardcover
In this book Sophie's cousin who was first mentioned in the second book of the series, Dying to Write, as a seriously famous rock star who had to overcome addiction to drugs, takes center stage with Sophie. He is performing his farewell concert and it seems someone is out to get him. At first it's just nasty practical jokes, then, at the sound rehearsal a death occurs.
Sophie, who is trying to cope with procuring for students short term intern type jobs thinks she has made the perfect placement when one of the brighter girls is placed at an air cargo transportation business. Then the young intern comes to her with a problem she has found in the records.
The plot threads do not come together very neatly. Also I've noticed it in previous books but it is starting to become a bit annoying-- the author creates a situation where Sophie is in dire danger, then sees a chance for rescue and heads for it. Immediately the story does a time jump ahead and Sophie's experience is told rather than shown. It isn't even told in flashback.
Also Sophie's love life takes another sharp curve.
While the series reader probably needs this book for continuity, it does have some problems.
Follows Dying on Principle and precedes Dying for Power
