I didn't enjoy this story as much as I've enjoyed the other two. ( ) Writer Cece caruso is hired to help actor Rafe Simic prepare for his role as Dashiell hammett in a movie based on one of her books. While she's spending time with Rafe he's asked to identify the body of a woman who may be his old high school girlfriend. This leads Cece off onto a lot of strange adventures. The whole book is very disjointed and the story doesn't mesh together at all. I plodded through Shamus in the Green Room even though I read it in a large-print version, which usually goes faster for me. Whether it was the characters (the film people were just plain annoying and I didn't enjoy spending time with them) or the plot, which involved a shadowy figure -- victim or villain?, I'm not sure. Protagonist Cece Caruso is a mystery-writer biographer and the writer in question in this book is Dashiell Hammett, subject of her first book. Cece is hired to consult on a film about Hammett for a film star who doesn't read much. When he's called to identify a body, real-life crime steps in. I liked the subsequent book much better. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
Los Angeles writer Cece Caruso is thrilled that her biography of the legendary Dashiell Hammett is headed for the big screen. Rafe Simic, the actor cast as the lead, may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but the money she'll make tutoring him in the ABCs of The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man should be good enough to feed Cece's addiction to vintage Yves St. Laurent. But when the dead body of one of Rafe's old flames is discovered--and neither the "facts" nor the hunky star's alibi add up--Cece can't help but ask questions. However, the twists in this case would confound Sam Spade himself. And in her zeal to win justice for the deceased, Cece might end up pulling the plug on the movie--if someone doesn't pull the plug on Cece first. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
