Críticas

'Superior, tightly written thriller. Sam Baker, editor of British Comopolitan, writes with an impressively spare and structured style' (GOOD HOUSEKEEPING)

'We¿d love this nail-biting thriller shot with glamour even if it wasn¿t written by our boss. The instantly likeable, gutsy Annie Anderson departs the gritty world of newspapers to go undercover on pretentious fashion bible, Handbag. Trying to read just one chapter is like trying to leave Topshop purchase-free. Give in and be hooked.''***** (COSMOPOLITAN)

"When hard-bitten newspaper reporter Annie Anderson joins style-bible Handbag, she soon discovers that the ability to wear six-inch heels is prized over journalistic skills. But that changes when a hot new designer is murdered at New York Fashion Week. A thrilling whodunnit peppered with fascinating insider knowledge." (SHE)

Reseña del editor

Annie Anderson, feature writer with one of Britain's leading broadsheets, decides to take a break from the tougher end of journalism. After years working undercover befriending prostitutes and drug addicts, the strain is beginning to tell. At 29, Annie has enough baggage to sink a battleship, a strict all-caffeine-no-food diet and a total inability to maintain relationships with men. Where does a girl go from here? she asks. Fashion, that's where.

Annie takes a job on the new flagship magazine Handbag, and prepares herself to be whisked into a world of glamour, beauty and power. But she has a sixth sense for trouble - and it doesn't take her long to find it. When Mark Mailer, New York's hottest young designer, is gunned down in what appears to be a random killing, Annie decides to do a little digging.

What Annie discovers is more bizarre - and a whole lot more frightening - than anything seen at London Fashion Week. She has entered a world where beauty hides a multitude of sins, including fraud, corruption and murder. It doesn't take Annie long to see that she may well become fashion's next victim¿
