Smash Cut by Sandra Brown

A friend from the gym loaned me this, and it was a good story. I was able to read it very quickly. Brown's characters are all over-the-top: the villain is really bad, knows it, and everyone else knows it too. The lawyer with the dog is the hero, and the gorgeous red-head he meets on the plane is the suspected culprit in her lover's death. Everyone is rich and well-dressed or absolutely helpless and a social misfit. Anyway, it's the only one of her novels I've read - skimmed is more like it. It'd be a good one to read on a long, boring flight.
