Sleeve Notes:

When children’s author Micky Douglas invites Maddy Grey to launch his latest book, he has no idea he’s inviting trouble. Maddy, well-known hostess of the successful children’s TV show Kids’ World isn’t as popular with her colleagues as she is with her adoring young audience. In fact, she’s managed to alienate quite a number of her acquaintances, some of whom are finding their very livelihood and future happiness threatened by her vindictive behaviour. It seems a lot of people have very good reason for wishing Maddy Grey dead.

So when her body turns up after the launch, the police have quite a list of suspects. But who killed Maddy Grey? Was it her ex-lover and co-host? Or her own daughter? The Kids’ World producer – or his wife? The over-emotional writer of teenage novels whom Maddy threatened to destroy? Or perhaps the journalist whose lover Maddy seduced from her? It might be her agent, or the TV newsreader, or one of the family who runs the bookshop where the launch took place.

The killer is determined to cover any tracks and Micky, realising that he himself has been responsible for one of the following deaths, is determined to bring a murderer to justice.
