    Jinxed, Again!
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2015*

A great cozy mystery! Meg Barnes played the character of Jinx Fogarty, magician's assistant & amateur sleuth, in a long ago TV detective show called Holiday. Now the network has decided to revamp the show. They ask Meg to train the new much younger Jinx in her signature top hat tricks. Meg agrees & then becomes further involved when the girl goes missing & a murder occurs. Meg is a great character who surprisingly is not bitter with the way life has treated her. She is turning her life around even when the past comes back to haunt her. I enjoyed reading this book & can't wait for the next installment which appears to take Jinx to Europe. This is a definite must read series for those that like the cozy mystery genre!

    Funny and Entertaining Follow-Up to Down and Out in Beverly Heels
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2015*

Jinxed is the sequel to Scott's earlier book, Down and Out in Beverly Heels.  It can be read without reading the earlier book (but don't deprive yourself of the pleasure of reading Beverly Heels, it's excellent).  In Jinxed, actress Meg Barnes is, at least temporarily, reprieved from living and sleeping in her car (while trying to keep homeless state from friends and colleagues in the television industry) by the generosity of her friend Donna who has offered her, at least temporarily, a room in her luxurious Beverly Hills mansion.Still unemployed, Meg has been reduced to performing in a opus by a 14-year-old wunderkind who has to be driven to filming locations by his mother.  Most of the movie is being filmed in the kid's garage against a green bedsheet with backgrounds added with CGI.  Meg learns that her hit series from decades ago, Holiday, is being given a reboot with a younger actress playing her part.  Meg is hired by the studio to coach her replacement on the tricks with a top hat that were a trademark of her character.  Desperately needing the money (while hoping she can parlay the coaching into a role on the series), Meg swallows her pride and agrees.  After an initial meeting and coaching session, the younger actress goes missing, and Meg again finds herself in the middle of a mystery.  Meg's life is made more complicated (and a LOT more aggravating) when the young actress' acting teacher turns out to be Meg's pompous, self-centered and narcissistic ex-husband who shows up and talks his way into also staying at Donna's mansion.It's no spoiler to reveal that there's a murder and that Meg finds herself in peril again.  And of course, Meg decides that she has to solve the murder and find the missing actress.I found this entry even more enjoyable than the first book.  The tone was generally lighter and there were many more laugh-out-loud moments in Jinxed. The addition of Meg's ex-husband Dirck (no, that's NOT a typo) was a very funny and welcome inclusion.  Let's hope we see him as a recurring character in future entries.  Corky, the 14-year-old filmmaker is another delightful addition. Scott once again makes excellent use of her own background in television and film. One big improvement from the first book is that Meg's decisions to solve the crimes on her own are more reasonable and justifiable (which, quite frankly, makes her a lot more believable and sympathetic).  The issue of genteel homelessness is still present as a topic, but since things aren't as grim and desperate for Meg as in the first book, the tone isn't nearly as bleak as it was in the first half of Beverly Heels.Bottom line - Jinxed is highly recommended and is a fun and entertaining read.  But be warned, I started it at bedtime and found myself still reading it at 6 AM!  Hopefully, you're more disciplined than I am, but frankly I'd like to ask Ms. Scott to please write faster.  I can't wait for the next installment!P.S. I also want to know if Kathryn Leigh Scott can really do the trick of flipping the top hat onto the top of her head.  I'd very much like to see that!  <g>

    Much anticipated follow up to "Down and Out in Beverly Heels"
  

*by B***6 on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2015*

I thoroughly enjoyed Down and Out in Beverly Heels, and have been wondering what mischief Meg Barnes could get into next! Kathryn Leigh Scott did not disappoint in Jinxed! It was hard to put down, and I finished it quickly in just a few days! A fun read, kept me guessing until the end! I also enjoy the peek into Hollywood life and behind the scenes of what goes into making a TV show. I would highly recommend both Down and Out in Beverly Heels and Jinxed. Already looking forward to book 3!!!
