A series of Creator/MegCabot books about Heather Wells, a former child IdolSinger, whose label dropped her. She now works at a university as a dorm administrator. In every book, someone ends up dead, and Heather investigates while dealing with her crazy co-workers, annoying, cheating ex-boyfriend (also a famous pop star) a police officer who believes she's nothing but trouble, and her huge crush on her roommate/landlord/former flame's brother.

* AdultFear: Your little girl is all grown up and heading off to college! Wait, she's found dead in an elevator shaft, and the police think she was elevator surfing. Or her head is put in one of the kitchen pots, with the rest of her shoved down the disposal.
** Heather even jokes that she wishes she could take up Cooper's advice to wrap all the residents in Bubble-Wrap to keep them safe.
** Several parents act on this fear when field producer Jared gets poisoned in ''Size 12 and Ready to Rock,'' taking their girls home before Tania's Rockaway Camp is over. [[spoiler: Doesn't help that Gary Hall, a man in his late forties and Tania's abusive ex-husband, poses as a college student and chokes one of the campers while ostensibly giving her singing lessons. That girl is going to need therapy and much more than Cartwright Corporations covering her college expenses.]]
** Heather's mom Janet has a minor example, when she realizes that abandoning her daughter lead to Heather becoming [[CynicismCatalyst jaded]], mistrustful of others and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking having to work in a residence hall]]. Subverted when Heather asserts that she likes the new life she has, and that she doesn't know why her mom wants to mess it up again.
** So the woman who stole your ex-boyfriend has decided she wants your current boyfriend and fiance to be her new bodyguard. What's to say she won't seduce him as well, or he won't die protecting her from a [[TakingTheBullet stray bullet]]? Fortunately, Cooper assures Heather that he's only taking the job to protect Heather since Tania has moved the camp to Fischer Hall, and thus whoever is stalking her might hurt Heather in the crossfire.

* RealityEnsues: A few examples come to mind.
** Apparently not all information is available on the Internet, including marriage records. Sometimes Cooper has to bribe a district attorney to get access to them. As he tells Heather, TV gets the facts wrong.
** Cooper about police facial recognition technology, explaining why it doesn't work the way it does on television in ''Size 12 and Ready to Rock''.
** As Tania admits to Heather in ''Size 12 And Ready to Rock'', that Heather is happy with Cooper now doesn't excuse the fact that Tania helped Jordan cheat on Heather. Heather herself admits that while she realizes she ought to have dumped Jordan ages ago, it still hurt a lot at the time that she lost her boyfriend, career, and faith in fundamental goodness all in one swoop. Being TheMistress in an affair is a terrible thing to do, and Tania had no excuse even if trying to [[spoiler:escape an abusive husband]].
** Contrary to what Nicole Cartwright believes in ''The Bride Wore Size 12'', inviting an estranged and manipulative mother to her daughter's wedding will not result in a happy reunion between the two if said mother stole her daughter's money and left her to rot.
