Simone werkt tegen haar zin bij een roddelblaadje van de ergste soort. Ze blijkt echter erg goed te zijn in het ontdekken van geheimen. Als een actrice onverwacht sterft, doet Simone haar uiterste best om de waarheid te achterhalen. Daardoor loopt haar eigen leven gevaar. Deze thriller is spannend, maar roept tegelijk een gevoel van afkeer op voor de werkwijze van roddelbladen. Ze onderzoeken vuilnis van sterren om iets te ontdekken en werken zich onder valse voorwendselen bij iemand naar binnen om in vertrouwen iets los te peuteren omdat niemand rechtstreeks met hen wil spreken. Het verhaal en onderzoek naar de moord zijn echter heel spannend en ingenieus verteld. Een goed, snel verhaal, met alsnog een onverwachte uitkomst, romantisch bovendien.
