Death in Daytime is an enjoyable look into the soap opera world. The plot is an interesting one with a
cast of characters who are all "characters" in the drama. There are enough twists and turns in the action to keep
the reader alert...enough twists and turns as in a soap opera....As the World Turns!
This is a quick read which will help pass an evening in a comfortable chair with a cup of Earl Grey tea...
