British stand-in for an American movie star gets all obsessive and stalky. Pretty good suspense novel. (

One of Deborah Moggach's best IMHO...a great tale of life on a film-set, some excellent quirky characters (loved the continuity girl) and a highly believable portrait of an 'over-ripe' film star who has to have a personal trainer to come round and 'bully her onto her bike'. This story brought Moggach's already high standard of writing to a new level of expressiveness and poetry. Highly recommended. (
