** 'Linda Howard is a superbly original storyteller. (Iris Johansen )
Product Description
After a painful divorce, Blair Mallory follows a dream and opens a health club. But Nicole Goodwin, a troubled member of the club, develops a strange fixation on Blair, imitating her style and dress, even the car she drives. Then Nicole is gunned down in the club's parking lot. And Blair is the only witness to the murder. At first the police investigation concentrates on Nicole and her acquaintances, but then someone tampers with Blair's car, and sabotages her home and business. The police - including Blair's old flame Lieutenant Wyatt Bloodsworth - are baffled because these attempts, while serious, are very different in tone from Nicole's murder. Is Nicole's killer seeking to remove a troublesome witness? Or was Blair the intended victim after all?

This was my first Linda Howard book and what a read.
I am usually a bit sceptical when books start off in the first person sense, but the way it was written like that, made the book even better.
Meet Blair - ex cheerleader, fitness freak etc etc A girl gets shot outside her gym, now she is a witness to a murder...but was the girl really the intended victim? Or was the bullet meant for Blair?
This is a really good read and I look forward to reading more of Linda Howard's books and especially look forward to receiving the next book Drop Dead Gorgeous

If someone other than a bestselling established author had handed this book to a publisher, they would have been sent away and advised to consider another career. The book is written in the first person, and the main character Blair Mallory, sounds like a 14 year old, girly airhead, instead of the 30 year old business woman she's supposed to be. I found it hard to like Blair who has been written as a blonde dimbo, who runs a successful business, and has an 'inner beach bunny called Tiffany'. Are female readers supposed to relate to that?
I think the author was trying to write from the perspective of a person who usually appears as a secondary character, an attractive blond ex-cheerleader, who looks like a blonde airhead, but is intelligent under all the pink fluff.
Blair's character desplays none of the maturity of a grown woman who has weathered a bad marriage breakup and manages a successfull business.
The romance between Blair and Wyatt never rings true, because of the use of first person narrative, and because Blair describes Wyatt with the gushing enthusiasm of an adolescent. It's hard to understand the appeal of an alpha male who is macho,controlling and who only appeals on a physical and hormonal level. It's no mystery that anyone should want to kill someone as irritating as Blair but the identity and motive of the killer is embarrassingly badly written.
Linda Howard on a very bad day.

This book is written in the first person, which is a style that usually puts me off, however, the story is hugely entertaining. The dialogue between Blair and Wyatt was excellent!
After her divorce, Blair Mallory has built up a successful business. A murder brings her into contact with an ex beau, police lieutenant, Wyatt Bloodsworth. The stories (the threat to Blair & the romance between Blair & Wyatt) run in tandum and blend well, each stoking the suspense of the other.
"To Die For" and the sequel "Drop Dead Georgeous" are by far the most enjoyable books I've read in a long time (and I read about 6 a week!) I'd highly recommend both these books and hope that Linda Howard will write more in the Blair mallory series

A Hopeless Mix
A hopeless and unsuccessful mix of supposed crime fiction and erotic romanticism. Neither moves, in the single dimensional characterisations, in a way that is remotely satisfying. Read more
