I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
It is 1932. I am in Hollywood which is supposed to be on fire with sexy flappers, sultry vamps, and glamorous sirens. Gambling is rampant, drugs rule the roost. And an actress husband gets killed. Is it murder? Is is suicide. I am trying to find that out.
