This book was really funny. The Santaland Diaries makes the entire book worth it.

This book was really good. Just be aware that after reading it if you are not a vegetarian you will feel guilty everytime you eat meat. I feel that fair warning is necessary. His story is fascinating whether or not you agree with his methods.

The fourth mystery featuring actress Jocelyn "Josh" O'Roarke (after the Edgar-nominated Murder on Cue ) seamlessly connects reel life to real life. Out of work, rebounding from a lengthy romance with NYPD Lt. Phillip Gerrard, Josh is ready for a change of scene when a longtime pal, screenwriter Austin Frost, calls her to L.A. to appear in a made-for-TV film opposite former child star and recovering drug addict Ginger Jellicoe. Ginger is trying to deal with her parents' recent deaths and her complicated relationships with a host of demanding people: domineering Buddy Banks, executor of her parents' estate and the film's director of photography; his wife (Ginger's agent); his sister (who plays Ginger's mother in the film); and Ginger's wayward husband, a freelance editor. When Buddy is found dead in the locked darkroom of his on-lot photography studio, the police view Ginger as a prime suspect. While developing a romantic attachment to studio hairdresser/horse rancher Jack Breedlove, Josh teams up with engaging LAPD surfer cop Dwayne Hamill to seek out other culprits and motives. References to Arsenic and Old Lace, Gaslight and Suspicion provide hints to the clever solution. Fans of old-time movies and pop culture allusions will savor the on-the-set shenanigans in this breezy read.


This book was very cute as well as suspenseful.

I love, love, loved this book. It was refreshing to see a heroine who was reflective of my life and experience, and who wasn't a waif. Her problems were those that I have had and struggled with as well, for the most part. This book was wonderful. I laughed and I cried. I look forward to reading more from this amazing author.

I really like this book. I thought is was fun and I enjoyed the NY references. I like it when I recognized some of the places they have been. I thought the story was intriguing and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I loved the main characters and found them to be three dimensional and also women that I would like to know.
