Review: hard-boiled Hollywood murder mystery with a heart
Rating: 5 out of 5

This fast paced mystery delivers and kept me guessing till the end.  I especially loved the scenes where Kenny is going through her manic phases: sheer poetry.  After reading the book, I was not only entertained, but felt more knowledgeable about what it would be like to have manic-depression.I also liked the Hollywood setting, and found it more informative than any movie studio tour.  I enjoyed all the details about actors barely eking out a living, and what really goes on with the news media.  There's a scene with a ladder that made me laugh out loud, and am still smiling a day later.
