Life promises to be perfect for Dani Hale. She has an almost-perfect boyfriend named Dave and a dream job writing for the TV crime series “Flesh and Bone” that allows her to indulge her macabre forensic passions. But something isn't quite right with her relationship, and Dani, a wily and inventive snoop, learns that Dave's real creative talents are (1) lying and (2) cheating on her. Soon she is plunged into the world of Los Angeles singledom, enduring a battalion of bad dates with men whose peccadilloes would drive a lesser woman to kill. At her wit's end, Dani is driven to a dramatic extreme that is as shocking as it is sensible in the girl-eat-girl world of Hollywood. Praised by critics as the perfect beach read, Jules Asner's “Whacked” is a wicked tale of relationships, betrayal, and very modern revenge.
