ABOUT ABOUT THAT NIGHT
 
Sometimes it only takes one night to change everything…
 
Elizabeth Place might have been jilted on her wedding day one year ago, but at least she’s still got her brilliant job producing one of the biggest shows on TV!
 
But when larger-than-life TV host, Ricky Clough, dies live on air, her life is sent spinning out of control. And with foul play suspected, the spotlight is turned firmly on his colleagues – especially Hutch, the man desperate for Ricky’s job and whom Elizabeth is secretly dating.
 
As her world comes crashing down around her, Elizabeth realises that perhaps the only person she can really trust, is herself…

My Review

A brilliant read. Television becomes less glamour when you go behind the scenes. Elizabeth's job is to make Saturday must-see television, and Ricky – the star of the show – knows as the talent he can do what he wants. When he collapses on screen, an assumed heart attack turns out to be more suspicious and the police have some difficult questions to ask. I was double guessing who might have been involved in Ricky's death but wouldn't have got close to the ending. Bravo!
 
A very accomplished debut from Ms Bedell.
 
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
