one-hit wonder

Read one-hit wonder Storyline:

When the hottest pop star of the flashy ’80s disappears from the scene, she’s dismissed as another one-hit wonder--until her body is found in her half-furnished London flat, leaving more unanswered questions than clues. . . . Her bestselling debut, Ralph’s Party, was called "astute and engagingly hip" by The Baltimore Sun; about her second novel, the London Times said "thirtynothing will keep you up all night in a sweaty, addicted reading frenzy." Now Lisa Jewell is back on the scene with her funniest novel yet. One-Hit Wonder takes you into the thrill-a-minute life of a disco diva--and the dreary life of her mousy younger sister. Shy and gawky, Ana Wills has always daydreamed about living the life of her exotic half-sister, Bee Bearhorn, a pop singer who had a #1 hit single before she inexplicably vanished from the celebrity scene. She gets her chance when Bee turns up dead, and Ana is dispatched to the big city to clear out the apartment of her once-beloved sister. Instantly seduced by the secondhand glamour of Bee’s baubles, bangles, and bottles of champagne, Ana takes up with Bee’s wild club-hopping cronies, along with her sexy chauffeur. But news of visits to a remote country cottage and an elusive ex-boyfriend soon prove Bee was leading a secret life. Now Ana is on a mission to discover the truth about Bee Bearhorn, the one-hit wonder--and in the process finds herself, and her future. An irresistibly entertaining tale of a woman who takes control of her life by temporarily taking on someone else’s, One-Hit Wonder is this acclaimed author at her witty and captivating best.
