Woods strikes gold, again!

Timeless display of alliteration making one feel as if it were today in the golden age of movie makers! Great ties to the more current novels involving the Arrington years and the Barrimgtons, who follow.

Great Writer

Gone but nor forgotten. Miss Woods style. I've been a very long time listener because reading time is almost impossible to find

The best one yet.

The best one yet Not too much sex in it so I can play it on my car

Another great one by Stuart Wood

Loved hearing all the inside stuff about the studio and the name dropping. Great story line

Excelent movement throughout the book

Fast pased & fun book. A little racey here & there but great. A good listen or read.

Fast Read, Hollywood Ending

Fun story- a perfect Hollywood mystery with an even better Hollywood ending. Highly recommended! Good narration, clever historical tie ins

Like the new character - a bit anti-climatic

Where does The Prince of Beverly Hills rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Like the change of time periods and the inclusion of real-life actors -wondered how much truth was actually incorporated into the lives of David Niven, Bugsy Siegel etc.

Who was your favorite character and why?

There were several nice new characters for a Stuart Wood novel.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Narration was okay, but would have enjoyed Tony better.

Any additional comments?

A bit anti-climatic but would work for a follow up

More please!

I know there is a second book for this series but I want more of Rick Barron!!

Wonderful story line.

It has a wonderful storyline; it kept my attention from the beginning to the end!!

Hollywood Glamour back in the day

I really enjoyed this story, although you have to suspend reality a bit. But that in part is what makes it so compelling. Good read leaving you wanting more.
