I am not big into murder mysteries, but I found that I could not put it down. I love the hollywood aspect and it has good humor. I am not going to say any spoilers because you need to read it for yourself.

Thank you for the review
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Definitely a great light read. Felt like like I was reliving the 1950s over again. It was like sitting in front of my family black and white television watching Raymond Burr as written by Agatha Christy.

Like you said in your review, film buffs would probably love this book. Going based off of that, I think that the overall nature of this book definitely has a niche that not everybody would fall into. While it is probably an enjoyable enough book for most to read, I think that people who like film, more easy going mystery stories, and the overall aesthetic that is very prominent in this book would be the best fit for this book.
Sure, aside from some editing mistakes I noticed in the sample, the book was really well written and clearly was going for a style that was common for mystery books, especially set in the time of this story. However, it just was not for me. But that does not make it bad, just an ill fit. Plus, I was not very drawn to the lead character. I don't think that a lead character has to be liked for the story to be good, but they do have to be interesting enough to make me want to read more, which I don't think this lead character was.
But then again, I only read the sample. However, even short samples usually do really well to establish the total feeling of the book.
Again, awesome review!
