38-year-old formal teen idol Sandy Fairfax is a guest panelist on a TV game show–and the first category is murder! When his brother, a college professor is framed for the murder of one of his student, Sandy investigates, in between fighting with his ex, visiting his kids, wooing his new girlfriend, and presenting a concert at a black tie gala to save his father’s orchestra. Sandy’s ready to tear out his long blond hair as the game points and suspects pile up.
REVIEW:


This was my first experience with Sandy Fairfax and I was not disappointed.  I thoroughly enjoyed this experience; I have to admit that it definitely made me question the legitimacy of the game shows that I love to watch.  The twists and turns that this story took especially in the last part of the book kept me guessing until the end.  I have to say well done very well done.  I will be checking out the previous installments in this series for sure.
