It was interesting to have the main character be a middle-aged actress trying to make her comeback after decades not working. But I always felt somewhat removed from her and what she was feeling. I'm not sure if that was because of the writing, or because I just never clicked with Diana (or any of the characters, really).
The plot itself could have come out of an episode of Castle. A young starlet is murdered and Diana happens to find the body, and then tries and figures out what is happening. There's blackmail, and more murder, and kidnapping, prostitution, etc. etc. It's like crime bingo.
All the characters seemed to be stereotypes and none of them felt genuine. I can't decide if that was sloppy writing, or a deliberate dig at Hollywood.
All in all, a good way to pass the time. I might read the next book if it ever comes out, or I may not.… (altro)
