All the books in the Stuart Hoag series are great reads, but this one was the best so far. There are not one, but two surprise endings and you won't know who the killer is until the final pages--I was totally wrong the entire time, and that doesn't happen very often! The story is about Stuart Hoage, a ghostwriter who has been hired to write the official biography for the wunderkind director, Matthew Wax, as a PR stunt to slant publicity in his favor as he battles in divorce court against his wife for control of his studio and custody of his baby son. The cast of character is quirky without being annoying. As Hoage digs into Mathew's past, he finds all kinds of skeletons in the closet & then people start getting murdered. You will not be able to put this book down! It's a great read & an excellent story. I'm surprised this series isn't more well-known than it is.

This author is such a smart aleck that I have a hard time not rolling my eyes and smirking at the silliness. And Lulu???? Please. I doubt I will finish this book. I wonder what Ed McBain would think of this style. Probably not much.
