They say love is easier the second time around: You'd think solving a mystery would be, too.  But Molly Forrester finds both to be less than true in this sassy sequel to her first adventure, Killer Heels.   Molly's journalism career is stalled.  Solving the murder of a colleague in Killer Heels hasn't led to bigger and better opportunities as quickly as she'd hoped.  Instead, she's still writing her popular advice column for Zeitgeist magazine, now under a new editor.  Stalled too is Molly's relationship with Detective Kyle Edwards. Perhaps meeting over a dead body isn't the best way to build a romance after all. When her best friends, Tricia Vincent and Cassady Lynch, suggest a trip to the Hamptons, Molly seizes the chance to get away from her worries for a while.  But what starts as an entertaining, champagne-filled weekend of "sipping and sniping" at the ultra-rich explodes into disaster with a dead guest of honor, a blue-blooded family feud, a jealous lover or three, and a murder investigation that stretches back to Manhattan and strains Molly and Kyle almost to the breaking point.  And through it all, Molly must contend with an icy female homicide investigator who may be competing with Molly on more than a professional level.  With a penchant for saying the right thing--even if at the wrong time--and the enthusiastic help of her two devoted friends, Molly Forrester tackles another murder with zest and style.  But will her sharp wit and droll insight be enough to protect those she cares about most?  Sheryl J. Anderson whips up another sexy cocktail that's equal parts comedy, mystery, and romance.  This heady brew takes the sting out of the greatest mystery of all--how to keep love alive in the big city.… (mehr)

Últimamente las cosas no han ido demasiado bien para Molly Forrester: el nuevo editor de Zeitgeist, la revista para la que trabaja, disfruta rechazando cualquier propuesta que venga de ella; y su novio (o algo así), el detective Kyle Edwards, no parece muy dispuesto a llevar su relación a un nuevo nivel de compromiso. Es el momento perfecto para una escapada de fin de semana con sus amigas, y la fiesta de compromiso del hermano de su amiga Tricia será la ocasión ideal. Pero la extraña muerte de la prometida dará al traste con sus planes y Molly, convertida de nuevo en investigadora, se verá envuelta en un caso lleno de sexo, peligro, mentiras… y también mucho humor.

This second in a series of four (Boo!) was my least favourite of the bunch. I still loved it, but not as much.

Killer Cocktail finds Molly trying to please too many masters and leaving everyone unhappy. Her best friend Tricia's brother's fiancee (got that?) is murdered at their Southampton engagement party. Tricia wants Molly to find the murderer, Molly's maybe-boyfriend wants her to stay out of it, and Molly's editor wants a sensational expose about it (making Tricia regret her request).

The writing continues to be really well done - these are books that suck me in and keep me there. I can read all four books back to back (which I'm doing), not burn out, and mourn that there aren't more. Snappy dialogue, characters I want for friends, and a great mystery plot with a not-at-all obvious murderer. The only writing that pulled me out of the story were the fashion commentaries that ran a bit like an emcee at a fashion show: "Cassidy entered the room wearing a gorgeous skirt by XXX and a stunning blouse by YYY and ZZZ's ABC style of stiletto's with the little black bow". If you're a fashion lover, these commentaries will add to the colour and description of the scene; but since I know only enough about fashion to recognise stupid-expensive when I hear it, I tend to skim over them.

If you like well-written murder mystery that's fun, not completely shallow, and full of the power of friendship, I'd recommend this book (if you can find it) or any of the other three in the series. The series has a definite chick-lit air about it, but it adheres to the cozy rules: no overt sex (dammit!) and very little-to-no swearing. ( )
