 When Colette Died byL. C. Hayden Top Publications 255 pages, 1999 ISBN 096663666X Reviewed by Nancy Mehl Read our interview with the author Debbie Gunther is playing a role – that of Colette – a beloved celebrity gunned down during her show at a posh Las Vegas casino. But this role could be her last. Someone is trying to bring down the last curtain with deadly finality. Debbie’s life has been one of hardship and emotional abuse. Blamed by her father for her mother’s death, Debbie grew up knowing she was unloved and unwanted. Her only success came from her startling likeness to Colette, and her tremendous talents as a singer and dancer. Her debut in Las Vegas, on the same stage where the well-known star lost her life, is complicated by the fact that someone is sending her strange and threatening messages. A dress that is fashioned just like the one Colette wore the night she died is sent to her room - with a hole in the same location where a bullet ripped through the original dress. Then she receives flowers that are the identical type held in the hands of the tragic entertainer when she was shot. Debbie’s claims that someone is stalking her are unheeded when it is discovered that the dress and the flowers were ordered in Debbie’s name – with her credit card. Is Debbie behind this bizarre set of circumstances? A handsome reporter from Star World Magazine, Dan Springer, doesn’t want to believe that. Despite his best intentions, he is falling in love with Debbie Gunther, while Debbie struggles behind the façade of the famous and beautiful Colette – afraid that no one will love the woman she really is. Everyone seems to be suspect as the plot twists and turns in this interesting and absorbing novel set in the middle of the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas. This is a novel you won’t want to put down until you know just exactly what happened WHEN COLETTE DIED. |
