Publisher Description
Rich in both "rowdy" and big city sophistication, Dallas is a city of paradox. It's a city with attitude where men don't walk, they "stride," women with "big hair" speak with a distinct drawl because they want to. It's a city that has experienced, endured, thrived, and even capitalized on the reputation and scars of assassinations, protests, and murder.
To Love and Die in Dallas unfolds through the pages of ill-gotten diary that recalls the teenage years of four best friends. It recalls a time of innocence when Dallas teenagers were bopping at sock-hops to the tunes of Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis, cruising around White Rock Lake, and hanging out at the drive-in on Garland Road. But time changes everything.
It is now the twenty-first century and those carefree teenagers are the power players in Dallas. The murder of one of the friends, Lindsay "Rose" Mitchell, the wife of US Senator James "Buddy" Mitchell turns Dallas high society upside down. Her funeral brings the three best friends back together again, where they vow to find out what really happened. But some stones are better left unturned. Each one of them has deep secrets and they soon realize that anyone of them could be a suspect.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Goldman's engrossing romantic suspense debut centers on the explosive secrets within the diary of Annie Williams, which charts her enduring friendship with high school classmate Lindsey Wilson that began in 1950s Dallas and is tested by unwed pregnancies and broken hearts. Lindsey grows up to become the unhappy wife of U.S. senator James "Buddy" Mitchell and the secret lover of Frances Zacchoias, a Greek entrepreneur who owns a popular downtown eatery. Lindsey's sudden death shocks Dallas, and her funeral reunites David Matthews, Lindsey's ex-boyfriend and prominent criminal lawyer, with Annie and Dallas socialite Roberta "Butter" Duplissey, both of whom he also dated. David, recently married to his third wife, Taylor, receives another jolt when Butter shows up at his office with Annie's stolen diary and says, "Read, it David... read it and weep." Butter's subsequent murder in David's office marks Taylor as a prime suspect. All the major players in this tautly plotted thriller must cope with life-changing discoveries. A clever "uh-oh" ending promises a sequel.
