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 . sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Pertenece a las seriesKitty 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.
