Boston PI Sunny Randall is hired by bestselling author Melanie Joan Hart to unmask “Book Babe,” a viral reviewer who’s tanked her career with a vicious one-star post. But when the critic turns up dead and Melanie becomes the prime suspect, Sunny must unravel their tangled past before the killer strikes again.

Boston PI Sunny Randall investigates a popular book critic on a mean streak... only for her to wind up dead, in the latest thriller in Robert B. Parker's Booked.

World-famous author Melanie Joan Hart asks for Sunny's help in tracking down Book Babe, the screen-name of an enormously popular book reviewer who has trolled her with a deeply insulting one-star review. This usually wouldn't matter except that Book Babe has thousands of followers, and her unwarranted blast has Melanie's publisher threatening to pull all her books.

Sunny's investigation reveals that the reviewer and Melanie have a rich history — in fact, she may even have good reason to hate the torn-up author. And when Book Babe suddenly turns up dead, casting Melanie as a possible suspect, Sunny finds herself in a complicated web, which, if she can't untangle fast enough, might just put a target on her back.
