"[Vaudeville actress turned Hollywood insider] Jessie's thrilled when Bruno Heilmann, a movie studio bigwig, invites her to a party. Shes even more delighted to run into a face from her past at that party. But the following day, Jessie learns that sometime in the wee hours of the morning both her old friend and Bruno Heilmann were brutally murdered. She's devastated, but with her skill as an actress, access to the wardrobes and resources of a film studio, and a face not yet famous enough to be recognized, Jessie is uniquely positioned to dig into the circumstances surrounding these deaths"--Amazon.com.

After THE IMPERSONATOR, this is the second in the Roaring Twenties series. Like most mysteries, it has its implausible elements, but it's a fun, fast read. The protagonist finds work with Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, and rubs shoulders with other famous names from the silent film era. And naturally she gets involved in a murder or two.
