Praise for" Live at 10:00, Dead at 10:15" "Fast-paced and funny-a debut with style."--"Kirkus Reviews" "A well-written suspense [novel] that has a captivating conclusion."--"Romantic Times Bookclub" "As someone who loves mysteries - and, of course, fashion - I couldn't wait to read the book. I was not disappointed. Klensch ably pulled it off, with the kind of plotting that kept me awake and guessing till the end."--Evelyn Theiss, The Cleveland Plain Dealer "A stylish work of fiction. Suspects abound throughout the mystery like celebrities at a Hollywood premiere."-"Fashion Flash,"--Tulsa World "Elsa proved that television coverage of fashion could be successful. Now she proves that she is as good at writing fiction as she is in front of a camera."--Oscar de la Renta "No one communicates with more style or more authority than Elsa Klensch. She's the ultimate insider."--Donna Karan "Only Elsa could fashion such a lively murderous tale."--Calvin Klein "If Mickey Spillane dealt in dress patterns and couture instead of lead and vengeance, this is the kind of book he'd write. Brisk and sharp, building to a satisfying and hilarious payoff."--"New York Post" "It's impossible not to wonder who the real-life models for her characters were. This is a fun and fast-paced read, with lots of dish on an industry that can be as ugly as it is beautiful."--"Calgary Herald"
