Too many cliches, too many characters from the catalog of stock noir types, too fast. ( ) Super fun read! This book is full of 1930's slang and details. I'm not a big fan of private eye stories, but this one is told through the point of view of the P.I.'s secretary, Miss Kitty, which seems to give a lighter tone to the story. I couldn't put this book down, and while I was able to guess at some of the details early on, I was surprised at the ending. This is the best mystery I have read in years, and the most fun I've had reading a book in quite a while . geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Kitty Pangborn (2)
In 1931, while most of Los Angeles is struggling to survive the Depression, the business of Hollywood is booming. And everyone wants a piece. The movies have always been cutthroat and, as girl Friday Kitty Pangborn is about to find out, that's more than a metaphor. Kitty's boss, private detective Dexter Theroux, has been asked to help leading man Laird Wyndham prove his innocence. The actor was the last person to be seen with a young actress who died under very suspicious circumstances, and the star has fallen from the big screen to the big house. Wyndham's a dreamboat, but that isn't the only thing that has Kitty hot under the collar. Dex has already signed a client---one who's hired him to prove Wyndham's hands are not as clean as they look. Mixing Hollywood glitz with hard-boiled grit,Death Was in the Picturecaptures the essence of life in Depression-era Los Angeles: a world where times are tough, talk is cheap, and murder is often just one scene away.
