Carolyn Castle is one of the most famous faces in the UK and in other countries, too. She is the star of the soap opera "Rags to Riches" - a copy of "the Bold and the Beautiful" - a star known to millions. But she is in an age when the first signs of ageing are troubling her a lot. And younger women crawl their way to the top. And it doesn't really help that a sponsor is throwing a big party to give her a "Lifetime Award" - at 44 years! And her loverboy is doing extra hours with a much younger model. And that was that...So at the award's night she has a drink too much. And then she has to fight a too eager lurch, who should drive her home, from raping her. So alone in the wilderness of Surrey she is searching for help - and enters in the wrong property. Where she witnesses a gang-related murder. She flees with the help of a truck-driver before the hired help of the killer can shoot her.Now she has to ask herself if wellknown face could be her death...The killer is the charismatic gangster Warwick Richards. A man more than capable of killing again to protect his secret. But does he really believe that Carolyn saw him commit murder?So some sort of strange tango begins. Carolyn isn't secure what or whom she has seen. Warwick tests the grounds by trying a direct approach. He is sure that she knows nothing. But she's not sure of herself and seeks help with some obscure PI.And that sets off an avalanche and people start dying...Carolyn sees only one way out - that of an actress...I found this thriller very entertaining and have read it in three hours without stopping. I can highly reccommend it for those who love their killers and victims out of the ordinary. And the plot merciless (poor Reg!!!) and full of twists and turns.
