Publisher Description

In this page-turning sequel to Stalking Susan, TV reporter Riley Spartz pursues a curious story of a bride left at the altar and finds herself caught in a dangerous missing-person case. When Riley Spartz sees a want ad reading “Wedding Dress for Sale: Never Worn,” her news instincts tell her that the backstory might make an intriguing television sweeps piece. The groom, Mark, last seen at the rehearsal dinner, never showed up for the wedding, humiliating his bride, Madeline—and her high-strung, high-society mother—in front of 300 guests. His own mother, eager to spare him further embarrassment, waited weeks before filing a missing-person report and then learned how difficult it is to get police, or the media, interested in missing men. Now Riley is up against a boss who thinks that finding a famed missing fish will net the station higher ratings, a meth cartel trying to assassinate a K-9 dog because of his powerful nose for drugs, and a neighbor who holds perpetual garage sales that attract traffic at odd hours. When her missing-person case leads to a murder investigation, Riley discovers a startling motive for Mark's disappearance—and a TV exclusive guaranteed to win the ratings . . . if she lives to report it. www.juliekramerbooks.com www.doubleday.com

"While I liked this sequel to Stalking Susan I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book. I didn't feel as connected to Riley and I wasn't particularly happy with the resolution of the mystery. I like the writing and would definitely read another book in this series. "

    " A missing bridegroom case too conveniently (and violently) solved in the final pages. "

    " Light reading. Enjoyable mystery with a sympathetic heroine. Some plot points too predictable and some predicaments too outlandish. Still a great book for a vacation at the beach. "

    " This was my second Julie Kramer and it was a fun book to read. It was not as good as Stalking Susan and I think she took a number of slightly unbelievable liberties for the sake of the plot, but it was still a fun book to read. "

    " This book had engaging characters. But the author took so long to solve the initial mystery. And added a few subplots in between. I lost interest 1/2 through. "

    " Liked it fine, not as good as the first one, and way too much review of the plot points from the first book. Once that was behind us, moved along at a nice clip and delivered a decent thriller. "

    " Riley number two and it was great. The bride was face blind and that is an interesting disorder. Loved the Minnesota ties. Great mystery and slight romance. "
