Although the book’s description says Julianna, the blockbuster mystery writer and immediately sympathetic character, is losing her memory, Richardson-Moore unleashes twists from the start. Is Julianna’s memory really slipping away or has she fallen so deeply into her made-up worlds that real-life murder actually becomes inevitable? Is that the real mystery? Writing with her delightful turns of phrase, Richardson-Moore not only makes you wonder about that; she also makes you become the detective who must solve this richly multilayered mystery: what in the world happened here, and in what real world did this murder actually happen? A delicious premise vibrantly told.' John Jeter, author of Rockin’ a Hard Place and The Plunder Room
