Thickening the plot is Jana's breathtakingly handsome and muscular leading man, Jason Apollo, whose boyish, southern charms have aroused Jana's interest on screen and off.Will Jana and Jason stop the murderer before the final reel, or end up on the cutting room floor in this fast-paced whodunit with a shocking ending?©2016 Joe Cosentino (P)2017 Joe Cosentino

"A good, clean Cozy with plenty twists"
Overall 4 stars

I enjoyed this book when I read it so I thought I would give it a
listen as well. Either way, you choose will work since the book is
intriguing. I love these mysteries, finding them fun, lighthearted
with a touch of suspense. The ending is a big surprise and there are
lots of twists to keep you on your toes. I like the humor and Joe's
style where it sounds like a screenplay. It is fresh and fun, a great
escape from the humdrum of life. I found listening to it doing cores
made things go faster.
I will say the narration was just Okay. I did like Derick Snow's
voices for the characters and the dialogue but the regular reading
seemed a bit choppy. I will continue listening to this series.
If you like lighthearted suspense, cozy mysteries, child stars grown
up, actors, quirky characters, and a good clean story you will enjoy
this.

Thanks for the good review, Cat. I like mysteries, cozy or dirty, depending on my mood, and this sounds like a good one for the former. - Purple Reader,
