Pretty As a Picture by Elizabeth Little

Needing a break from Hollywood and an awkward situation with her best friend and work partner, Marissa accepts a job as a film editor for a very secretive film on a remote island. The warning bells are going off everywhere and the situation is intense but she signed a huge non-disclosure agreement and the money is good. Making a movie and solving a murder shouldn't be this hard. Elizabeth Little sets the scene well as a feast for old movie buffs and the characters are off-kilter but fun. A little bit like an Agatha Christie mystery movie where they all seem to be guilty at some point and Evanovich's Stephanie Plum is leading the investigation. Marissa is very lovable as a socially challenged editor and she along with the ragtag amateur detective team will find their way into your heart.
