So when Dolly wants someone to help write her first novel, who does she choose? Well James Patterson of course, one of the biggest selling writers of all times and the most borrowed author in UK libraries for thirteen years in a row. Smart, you see?

Between them, they have written a really enjoyable light thriller about a young song-writer on the run from her past. Desperate to find a way to break into the music business, AnnieLee Keyes travels to Nashville. She sleeps in the park at night and spends her days trying to get slots playing in bars. She’s very talented but a little bit ornery too. And then, like in all good fairy tales, she finds a fairy godmother who recognises her talent and puts her on the ladder to success, but just when it all seems to be finally going AnnieLee’s way, her past catches up with her, or rather hunts her down.

The soul of this book is like a warmhearted country song (and Dolly has written an album to go along with the book) and James Patterson has whipped it into thriller shape. Easy to read with likeable characters, this can be read in one sitting. Recommended for longhaul flights to Nashville.
