Dead Ex by Harley Jane Kozak

Dead Ex is another in the entertaining "Wollie Shelley" series. Wollie is a greeting card designer who has to take on odd jobs to make ends meet. In this story, she is working as a guest dater to soap opera stars for a soap-related talk show. She's also trying to keep her best friend Joey (a former soap actress) from being arrested for the murder of an ex-boyfriend. There are scary moments, silly moments, funny moments. It all adds up to a rollicking good time.
