Books by Laura Caldwell

I read three books by Laura Caldwell: Red Hot Lies, Red-Blooded Murder, and Red, White , and Dead. All were excellent. The series centers around the character Izzy McNeil who is an attorney. In the first book, she is working for a high profile law firm which specializes in entertainment law. Her most important client (also a friend) is murdered. After this murder occurs, Izzy's fiance has mysteriously fled town with important documents belonging to the dead man, which makes him a prime candidate as a murder suspect. Izzy is left to try to solve the murder plus discover the whereabouts of her fiance and discover what his role in all of this is. In the second book, Izzy, now out of a job, has been offered a position at a new network station called Trial TV. Her boss will be one of her former clients at her previous law firm. Izzy's friend/boss is found strangled in her home. The network moves Izzy into the position of "star" of the show. According to the police, Izzy's new position, along with several other things, makes her suspect #1. Izzy must now fight for her own life/freedom as well as figure out who the real killer is. The third book takes an unexpected turn. In this installment, Izzy becomes involved in a search for her father, who was presumed dead for many years. Her search takes her to Italy, where she becomes a target of the Italian mob. This one was really interesting in part due to the fact that it was so different from the first two.
