Every Woman's Got a Secret

In Los Angeles, Caroline Isaacs hosts the popular urban music show Top of Da Charts. She also needs an assistant so she hires a summer intern Mari Colonada, whose can-do outlook makes her perfect for the hip hop world just before the popular Deejay goes on a summer tour.
Initially Mari seems perfect, but soon Caroline begins to see a dark side though her entourage, her family, and her boyfriend Julius notice only a sweet, upbeat soul. As her brother falls in love with her intern, Caroline's boyfriend dies in a freak accident that only makes her wonder if Mari was involved. As they reach her parents' home in Philadelphia, Caroline needs to know the truth because she believes Mari wants to hurt her one person at a time before destroying her, but no motive seems apparent while her loved ones think she is the one losing it.
Ironically the readers know from the start that Mari hates Caroline though her motive seems weak for someone willing to kill if it furthers her goals. The support cast is solid as each enhances the relationship between the two lead females by making Mari look like the kindhearted norm and Caroline jealous of the newcomer. Fans will appreciate this strong suspense thriller while wondering just who will be the last woman standing.
