Murder isn't something that just happens on TV.

Travel writer Ria Butler has to outsmart a killer on the set of a reality TV show. Ria is supposed to be looking at blue-footed boobies in the Galapagos. Instead, she circumnavigates her unsettled relationship with investigative reporter Glenn Cooper and flies to the set of the TV show that her brother is producing in the British Virgin Islands. On location, she learns a production assistant has gone missing — only her tattooed foot has been found. While Ria tries to outwit a killer, Glenn tries to outlast Ria's commitment detour, and a producer tries to outplay the police. When the reality series goes to air, it really does have the most dramatic finale ever — and someone is Really Dead.

Despite the best efforts of the head detective on the case to keep her off the trail, Liz persists in looking for Daniel, certain of his innocence. But could she become the real killer’s next victim?

      Reality confronts reality TV when a severed foot found on a beach in the British Virgin Islands is perceived to be an extremely realistic prop. Trouble is, a few folks who still have their heads screwed on straight believe the foot belongs to a missing production assistant named Kate. Rob, a cameraman, suspects Dan, the egomaniacal co-executive producer, but is worried that his friend James might be involved. When Rob calls Ria, a professional travel writer and James's sister, she flies there immediately. Meanwhile, Glenn, Ria's boyfriend and an investigative crime reporter, helps her sleuth from a distance. The camera is always on; does the killer know the murder has been caught on film? Turning reality TV's favorite tools against it, the good guys make sure justice is served. VERDICT Forman takes her background in television work and cleverly applies what she knows to a humorous debut. Her zany parody makes for a totally engrossing whodunit. Stick it out through the slightly belabored first pages, and you'll enjoy a comedic new series.
