Review
I have been in sort of a funk. So I was not really expecting to like this book as much as I did. This is a unique historical fiction about old Hollywood and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It’s 1933, and though the country is stuck in the Great Depression, movies are the ultimate escape. But Hollywood is skilled at selling lies, and nothing is as it seems. Frankie is a “fixer” for the RCO studios and she is perfect for this job. But when there is a murder???
Boy! What Hollywood used to do to protect the image of their stars!! And probably still does. But if you read any historical fiction about this era, you know what this entails…lies, coverups and more lies.
I enjoyed this tale following Frankie. And she has a few secrets of her own. Then there is Jack! Hollywood royalty! What is he hiding?! “ What a tangled web we weave when first we practiced to deceive!”
Excellent pacing and voices are provided by Rachel L. Jacobs!
Need an old Hollywood tale full of lies and deceptions…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
