title: The Cherry Pages: A Novel
author:  Gary Ruffin 
description: A psychopathic serial killer who slits his victims throats before using their computers to e-mail his ultimate prey is stalking Cherry Page, the British Marilyn Monroe, as she arrives in Atlanta to shoot a movie. And who should be selected to guard the international star but Samuel Coop Cooper, police chief of sleepy Gulf Front, Florida, whose on-and-off-again girlfriend, fellow cop Penny Prevost, is such a big fan of Pages that shes not jealous. Yet despite their differences in age, background, and stations in life, Cherry and Coop find an attraction developing between them, presenting the small-town lawman with a dilemma in the midst of danger. This sequel to Ruffins debut (Hot Shot, 2010) has some plot miscues, from the random selection of Cherrys protection to the general incompetence of authorities, but the primary problem is the dissonance between the novels lighthearted, rom-com tone and its deadly serious subject matter, as the body count rises. --Michele Leber
