Product Description
The brutal slayings of a string of her patients in New York and a horrific attempt on her own life leave Hailey Dean down, but not defeated. After a yearlong respite back home in the Southland, former violent crimes prosecutor Hailey Dean finally returns to her apartment in the sky overlooking Manhattan. Hailey's determined to rebuild a normal life and settle back into her growing practice as a therapist. But in a twist of fate, Hailey agrees to follow her heart and fight crime once again, this time in a new arena, in front of a camera! Under the hot lights of a TV studio, Hailey learns the TV industry's not so glamorous. In fact, it's downright deadly! Waning celebrities, all stunning actresses, each one a shining star turned has-been now struggling to get off the D-List and back into the limelight, meet with a bloody stage exit . . . murder! Hailey's archenemy, Lieutenant Ethan Kolker, the NYPD cop who hunted Hailey down for the murders of her own patients, now wants the past forgotten and reaches out for Hailey's help to solve the murders. In a race against the clock, Hailey has no idea that TV can be murder! In best-selling author, attorney, and TV personality Nancy Grace's second Hailey Dean thriller, life on television is no less dangerous than life in the courtroom!

 It wasn't great! September 5, 2010
NLW (Chandler,AZ)
The characters felt like plastic to me. The plot was just so-so. Not the worst I've ever read, but a long way from good.
 COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN READ IT IN ONE SITTING September 2, 2010
S. Murray (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia)
This book was so good. I thought I had it all figured out but I didn't. I hope Nancy does more books. I think Sandra Bullock would be the perfect actress to play Hailey Dean.
I haven't read the 13th Juror, but now I want to.
OMG Nancy Has Done It Again! September 2, 2010
Shelia D. In VA (Hampton, VA)
I read voraciously and this is one of the best mystery/thriller books that I have ever read. As I was reading this book, if I had not known better, I would have thought I was reading a true crime book. Nancy hit a grand slam with this book. I loved The Eleventh Victim, but this latest book, is better than the first one. I can't wait for her next book to be published. Great Job Nancy!
 The "D" list would be a step up for this book. September 2, 2010
EastCoastGal (Louisville, KY)
The only good thing about this book is that part of the proceeds is going to charity. It was painful trying to read this - the prose is simplistic and mind-numbing. I regularly watch Nancy Grace on TV so I wanted to like the book. I'll be selling my copy - in mint condition!
A TENSION FILLED THRILLER DRAWN FROM REAL LIFE August 24, 2010
Gail Cooke (TX, USA)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
It is so satisfying to read books by authors who really know their subjects, and Nancy Grace tops that list. She was a prosecutor of perpetrators of violent crime in inner city Atlanta for over ten years. And, while doing so she racked up a perfect record - almost 100 prosecutions and no trial losses. She later became a part of Court TV. Today she's eagerly watched on theHLN show Nancy Grace and the syndicated program Swift Justice with Nancy Grace. On top of all that she pens first-rate thrillers such as Objection!, The Eleventh Victim (the first Hailey Dean mystery) and now DEATH ON THE D-LIST.
With stories based on her life experiences each novel compels with reality and crackles with excitement from page 1 to the closing paragraph. DEATH ON THE D-LIST begins with Hailey's return to NYC and a feeling that it is as if she had never left - feels the same as before, "Before two of her favorite clients were murdered at the hands of a man who was once her courtroom adversary, a man who not only passed as an upstanding and highly successful member of the Georgia State Bar, but before that, as an Atlanta beat cop...."
With those thoughts in mind Hailey is looking forward to building a quiet, normal life - as quiet as it can be for a therapist. Nonetheless, before long the urge to fight crime takes over and she agrees to do it not on dark streets but in front of a television camera.
However, TV appearances turn deadly when former stars trying to get off the dreaded D-List and back in the limelight are murdered. It's up to NYPD cop EthanKolker to solve these murders, and he wants Hailey's help. Forget the fact that Kolker once hunted Hailey for killing her own patients. He's been trying to make amends with flowers, chocolates - all of which she returned. But nothing gets Hailey's attention like unsolved murders.
With DEATH ON THE D-LIST Nancy Grace has crafted a carefully plotted thriller that captures until the final page.
