Good Time Girl

There’s love on camera, but what’s going on behind the scenes? Popular soap opera The McMasters, set in the international art world, has been drawing huge audiences for nearly a decade, but ratings have started to slip. Beautiful and talented Claire Jenner is brought into the series and makes an instant hit. Recently recovered from a disastrous relationship, she embarks on a red-hot affair with Geoffrey Armitage, star of the show. Geoff is dazzled, but not so the rest of the cast. Cast aside by the philandering (and married) Geoff is the gorgeous but untalented Patsy. Seething with jealousy, she plots her revenge. Centred on the turbulent private lives of the cast of a long-running series, Kate O’Mara’s sizzling novel gives us an insider’s close-up on the world of television soap opera.
