review 1: Warning: This was written under the inluence of AMbien. I take no responsiblity for anything that atually makes sense of is spelled right. I will feel like I really acconplushed somethibg if it reads like someone interpreting sign languag for Koko the gorilla. That would be the best possible outcome. This book good. I like book. I like that main character not dumbass, but actually cool chick. I like all that true crime and Black Dahlia stuffy wuffy, so this was a nice spin on it. In spite of it be murder mystery book thing, it's not very dark. Some characters be seedy, but for the most part in more of a mean kids who never grew up way ,and not in a "makes me start to wonder what my own neighbors keep in their basements" kind of seedy. Anyhooter, nice,fun, reading, and much... more more articulate nad not porrly spelled like this review.I think I'm supposed to be ib bed now.
review 2: Why isn't Ms. Hamilton a bigger name? She's as good as Robert Crais and Michael Connelly in evoking Los Angeles in all its glory and seediness. This book has a great noir feel and setting (1940s Hollywood) and an interesting protagonist (a female former OSS spy) to guide us through the story. The plot is twisty and suspenseful, dealing with a hopeful time and broken dreams. It makes one feel both wistful and glad that those times are gone. less
