This week, I'm featuring Script for Scandal by Renee Patrick.
This is the third book featuring costume designer Edith Head and her friend Lillian Frost. It's a historical mystery set in 1939 Hollywood, and the way the authors mix the real and fictitious is fantastic. I finished the book Wednesday morning, and I loved it! I'll be reviewing it on Tuesday, assuming I get my review written.
Anyway, here's how the book begins:
I had narrowed my options down to the corned beef hash or the turkey sandwich. I couldn't make the final decision, though. Not with the gears of seduction grinding away next door.
Since I read an eARC, I'll jump ahead to 56% of the way through the book, where we find this:
A grin sidled across Virginia's face. "Let me guess. You learned I deceived you, too. Found out the source of my income and the company I keep."
Have a great weekend!
How fun! I haven't hear of this series. I love the thought of following Edith Head through a mystery. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year! I'd love for you and your readers to check out mine. https://lisaksbookthoughts.blogspot.com/2020/01/its-cozy-food-friday-that-means-its.html

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting read! Always go for the turkey, though. Can't go wrong with a good old-fashioned turkey sandwich. ;)
