4.5 Stars from me
We are back with Lily, Louis and Tilda as they fight to prevent movie starlet Kitty Fox from disappearing.
I just LOVE being immersed in the 1950s Hollywood scene. Lisa Hall has captured this so deftly that I feel almost a little starstuck while I’m reading as it’s a bit like intruding on a world where you know you just don’t belong.
In addition to the sheer gorgeousness of the world, sits a clever crime thriller as while we battle with Lily and co to find out what will happen to Kitty Fox, a murderer appears to be at large and that soon becomes impossible to ignore.
In amongst the glitz and the glamour there appears to be a cold blooded killer on the loose, who is fixated on Kitty Fox. But who is it? The author provides us with a whole host of credible suspects and Lily has to keep her wits about her in order to keep Kitty – and herself – alive.
My thanks to the author and Zooloos Book Tours for my place on this tour and in the extravaganza of all things Lisa Hall!
