"Set in 1920's Hollywood this novel sparkles bright as the sequins on a flapper's dress.... There was more than one aspect of this novel that makes me say that. The setting was wonderful, I loved reading about the time period and it felt more like living in a black and white movie than attending a history lecture. The story was interesting and the characters were vivid, flawed and lovely, but most of all I loved the writing. The author captured me from the first page and even though I didn't have time to start reading a new novel I couldn't help myself. For fans of James Scott Bell's earlier work, Kit Shannon makes a cameo in this book. Kit Shannon is the main character (a female lawyer in the 1920's) of Mr. Bell's The Trials of Kit Shannon series. This book is the best one I've read from James Scott Bell to date and he's got a lot to live up to in his next one. I'm impressed."
