Publisher's summary

Perhaps the best place in 1943 Hollywood to see the stars is the Hollywood Canteen, a club for servicemen staffed exclusively by those in show business. Murder mystery playwright Annie Laurence, new in town after a devastating breakup, definitely hopes to rub elbows with the right stars. Maybe then she can get her movie made. But Hollywood proves to be more than tinsel and glamour. When despised film critic Fiona Farris is found dead in the Canteen kitchen, Annie realizes any one of the Canteen's luminous volunteers could be guilty of the crime.

To catch the killer, Annie falls in with Fiona's friends, a bitter and cynical group―each as uniquely unhappy in their life and career as Annie is in hers―that call themselves the Ambassador's Club. Solving a murder in real life, it turns out, is a lot harder than writing one for the stage. And by involving herself in the secrets and lies of the Ambassador's Club, Annie just might have put a target on her own back.

Excellent 1940's Hollywood - well done

It took me a while but between the great narration and fast talkin', & rich colorful 1940's characters, I was transported. Excellent

Fantastic murder mystery

I love Sarah James! Both her novels are fantastic and I can’t wait for more. This was such a fun read. The narrator was difficult to listen to though. She reads like a grandma reading a children’s story and it lends an air of inauthenticity even to the serious parts. The story is so good though, you can get past it but dang I wish they’d used someone else!
