Despite the title, it's not a mystery novel -- because it's a pretty well done novel-in-stories of growing up as the not-exactly-adored only child of B-list celebrity narcissists in 1950s Beverly Hills. Slightly angsty, slightly funny, slightly fluffy. A good quick read for a day at the beach.
Fleur is now 15, it's the early 60s and Fleur's parents have sent her to a 'boarding' school in Tucson. The 'boarding' school turns out to be a place where the 'sickly' go -- when AZ used to be the place to go when you had health issues. Again, it's a clever story and a quick read.
Cute. Fleur is the 11 year old girl of a crazy Hollywood mom and producer father. Set at the end of the 50s, it's about Fleur's desire to find where she fits into this world.
