Serial dater and greeting-card artist Wollie Shelley goes undercover in a media-training company suspected of video piracy, but when a dead body appears on the company's property, she's caught up in a conspiracy that goes way beyond some stolen DVDs.
Wollie Shelley isn't happy about taking the job as a "social coach" at MediaRex, but the FBI makes her an offer she can't refuse. If she agrees to infiltrate the company, they'll guarantee that her schizophrenic brother will have a home at the federally subsidized halfway house he's come to love. So Wollie launches into teaching three foreign celebrities how to cope with the customs of Beverly Hills, improve their English, and become Oprah-ready. And when a coyote-chewed corpse appears in the MediaRex compound, Wollie realizes that her colleagues are concealing some serious secrets of their own.

She has hardly moved into the MediasRex complex when she discovers that her predecessor died in a car crash that no one is willing to discuss. Was it the accident everyone says it is or murder? A body in a nearby canyon only increases the stakes. Can Wollie get out alive?
This is a fast paced romp that left me turning pages. Every time I had to stop, it was with great reluctance. The set up may be complicated, but Ms. Kozak keeps all her balls in the air quite nicely. In fact, this may be the most polished book in the series. The climax wasn't quite what I like, but that was a minor complaint.
The characters are at their best here as well. Yes, we do get to see all the regulars, and they add nicely to the story. The new ones are instantly memorable, which is nice since there are a lot of them.
And the book is very funny. I found myself laughing several times.
While knowing the characters certainly helps, if you aren't already familiar with Wollie and her friends, you can certainly jump in here and still enjoy every minute of the action.
