I'm irked. It began well enough, but took a turn for the worse when characters behaved in an unexpectedly cavalier/nonplussed fashion after the first death. By the time I was 3/4 through I was weary of the constant griping and bitchery, the characters rang false, I wasn't sure if perhaps much of it were intended to be humorous (and if it were, it wasn't), and the so-called detectives (no one called them that, but we expect the viewpoint characters in this type of a novel to do some sleuthing, unless they're narrating the nearby sleuthing of others) did very little in this regard.

For the last 25 pages I was skimming just to get it done. Vita brevis est, sunt magis e libris est. (Life is short, there are better books out there).

(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). ( )

This is the first book in the Evangeline Sinclair and Trixie Dolan series. Evangeline and Trixie are two actresses who began in silent pictures and continued through the advent of the "talkies". Evangeline and Trixie are in London for a retrospective of Evangeline's films when one of their housemates becomes involved in a murder and they become accomplices after the fact.

The women look to solve the crime because, after all....they've had so much experience in their films...lol. The additional characters, Gwenda, Mick, Des, Martha etc all add color and fun to the story. The story is full of movie and movie star references.

This is a fun story with a couple of unexpected twists. I plan to read more of this series.

Rating: 4 stars ( )
