Hollywood Homicide

"Dayna Anderson doesn't set out to solve a murder. All the semi-famous, mega-broke actress wants is to help her parents keep their house. So after witnessing a deadly hit-and-run, she pursues the fifteen grand reward. But Dayna soon finds herself doing a full-on investigation, wanting more than just money--she wants justice for the victim. She chases down leads at paparazzi hot spots, celeb homes, and movie premieres, loving every second of it--until someone tries to kill her"--Amazon.com.

** spoiler alert ** The setting is Los Angeles — Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and surrounds. It's the same area as the Mommy-Track mystery series by Ayelet Waldman. The series, though, are separated by a decade. The focus is different two: older vs younger, married vs. single, white and Jewish vs. Black and Christian, Gen X vs Millennial. But Los Angeles is still Los Angeles and Hollywood is still Hollywood. The mystery is a good puzzle. I liked that Dayna was driven but not reckless. She has a good set of friends meaning she's not a solo amateur sleuth. http://pussreboots.com/blog/2022/comm...
