Book of Interest: Hollywood Homicide

Right off the bat, the author's name makes me think of Kelly Garrett from the original Charlie's Angels TV series. I wonder if she gets any jokes about it.

I enjoy reading cozy mysteries because they usually have amateur sleuths trying to solve a murder or mystery generally centered around a theme. I can imagine plenty of inspiration from a Hollywood theme. Anyway, love the cover and the book description, I really want to read this.


Book: Hollywood Homicide (Detective by Day book #1) by Kellye Garrett

Description:

Actress Dayna Anderson’s Deadly New Role: Homicide Detective

Dayna Anderson doesn’t set out to solve a murder. All the semi-famous, mega-broke actress wants is to help her parents keep their house. After witnessing a deadly hit-and-run, she figures pursuing the fifteen-grand reward isn’t the craziest thing a Hollywood actress has done for some cash.

But what starts as simply trying to remember a speeding car soon blossoms into a full-on investigation. As Dayna digs deeper into the victim’s life, she wants more than just reward money. She’s determined to find the poor woman’s killer too. When she connects the accident to a notorious Hollywood crime spree, Dayna chases down leads at paparazzi hot spots, celeb homes and movie premieres. She loves every second—until someone tries to kill her.

And there are no second takes in real life.
