findthatbookHi, all. I had posted this years ago to the livejournal community but never got an answer. My google-fu is clearly failing me so I thought I'd post it again.
I'm looking for a mystery book that would have come out around 1985-1995. It wasn't for elementary school kids. Maybe more junior high age range? It was illustrated like a comic book but smaller and stiffer (with a soft cover). If it helps, I'm pretty sure I bought it on a trip to Cape Cod. The book was completely illustrated, full colored drawings, and would have little drawings of clippings or photographs most of which would have important details.
The main story was about a journalist/magazine writer sent to a soap opera set. (I want to say the Soap Opera was titled "Working" or "Working out" or something to that effect and was about a gym/fitness center.) The ending involved the screen writer's pen being leaky, a tell-tale pyramid shaped ring, an untold family reunion and a child actress wanting to be a reporter/editor. Almost every character in the story had a secret they were hiding. I'm really curious to know the name of it and more so if this was part of a series of books.
