HOLLYWOOD ENEMY: A Hollywood Alphabet Series Thriller

So you think you’ve got problems, meet LAPD Detective Kate Sexton and her canine partner, Bernie. Thirty years after Kate’s father was murdered in cold blood his killer is back and he’s coming for her. After the department decides to temporarily assign her to work with the FBI to get her out of harms way, Kate soon learns that things have gone from bad to worse when she’s assigned to help track down, The Artist, one of the most deranged and sadistic serial killers in the history of the agency. As The Artist’s killing cycle approaches, Kate teams with hard-headed FBI agent Joe Dawson who has recently come out of retirement to work the case.
As Kate and Joe track the killer, things take an unexpected turn. The Artist returns to the place where his killing cycle began, at the same time Kate herself is stalked by the deranged mad man who shattered her family by killing her father when she was a little girl.
Packed with fast-paced action, loads of laugh-out-loud humor, a crazy cast of new and returning characters, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, Hollywood Enemy is a not to be missed thrill ride.

Kate, love, murder and heartbreak.

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2014

Just a great and funny read.

This one has Kate getting sent on a case with the FBI.

Kate has been targeted by Cooper. He's said more than once he is going to kill her.

Her boss has decided to get her out of Hollywood. She's going to Tulsa, Oklahoma to work with the FBI.

On arrival Kate meets Joe Dawson. He's an FBI agent who retired. The brought him out of retirement to catch a serial killer. The Artist.

Joe is far from your typical FBI agent. In fact Joe doesn't give a s**t about rules, regulations, pc or anything else. He's going to catch a killer and he doesn't care what he has to do to do so.

Kate is put off by Joe until she gets to know him. Her opinion changes big time because Joe just doesn't give any s**t and as the case progresses Kate finds she doesn't either.

So begins one damned fine and funny read.

This one has Kate, Joe Dawson, Bernie, the Hollywood PD, the FBI, profilers, the Tulsa PD, Ryan Cooper, the Artist, paintings, old history, some seriously insane folks, gays, Kates roommates, Natalies impending wedding, Kate finally realizing she loves Jack Bautista, murder, explosions, a half sister, Kates dead Father, a heartbreaker of an ending and Kate Sexton reaching for love and life.

Just a super read. Five Stars and then some.

I enjoyed this book much more than the earlier Hollywood Alphabet ...

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2014

I enjoyed this book much more than the earlier Hollywood Alphabet mystery that I read. Why?

In many ways, Mr. Kelly's writing is becoming crisper. He has tightened the dialogue, and it keeps your interest peaked. Yes, the characters are pretty wacky, but that's okay -- it's a fiction book.

What bugs me? Numerous typographical errors. Have an editor proof-read it. It's just sloppy. For better or worse, first impressions are important. And typos leave a bad impression.

Second, I felt there was too much gratuitous sex. Hey, I'm a pig. I enjoy reading about others' sexual exploits. But this sex is unrelated to the plot. It's the definition of gratuitous sex. If you're trying to establish a relationship between characters, there are far more powerful ways to do so than to have them engage in sex.

Third, I agree with another reviewer that there were too many plot lines. All the stuff about Kate's dad should be another book. It has the potential to be a great story, but it distracts from the plot in this this book. It didn't add to the main plot. If it doesn't add, remove it.

I was just reading a "how to write" book by Dan Gutman, an outstanding children's author. He suggests trimming the fat. If you don't need something, eliminate it. This book could be greatly improved with more critical editing.

OK, so why 4-stars with all my criticism? Because I enjoyed it! It passes my bottom-line test.

Something for Everyone in this Book

Whatever you are looking for, it's in this book. Sex opens the book in an elevator. Comedy occurs every time her roommates appear in the book. Suspense as her father's murderer, Ryan Cooper, keeps stalking Detective Kate Sexton to add her to his murder list. Mystery as Kate works with the FBI to stop a killer known as The Artist, who kidnaps teenage girls, removes their eyes before he kills them and adds face paint, a white dress and designer shoes before displaying them at a public place to replicate an old masterpiece. Then there is more tragedy and surprise as the book fades out leaving you with both storylines solved and a cliffhanger to take you to the next book. Best in the series as of yet.

In this 5th installment of the series , Detective Kate continues the search for her father's killer. In the meantime, in an effort to try to protect her from the killer who is now coming after Kate, her boss sends her to Oklahoma to work a case with the FBI. It turns into a search for a bazaar serial killer striking in several states over a period of decades. It is discovered that the killer's first victim was in Hollywood. As the case progresses, more facts about the killers are found and they end up with the 12th and final victim in Hollywood. The detectives now working the cold case of Kate's father are making progress. By the end of the book, several twists to the story are made with a surprising finish. Kate's roommates are there for supplying humor to an intense storyline. Again, another surprise ending leads to the next book. Love this series!

Huntress (I hunt books)

Women were being murdered and precious few clues were being left behind.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2014

Not one, but two mysteries to follow...a serial killer and the man who killed her father. Kate is still working as a police detective in Hollywood. Bernie is still her canine partner. She is still living with her colorful friends and octogenarian landlord. There is still a lot of sexually oriented humor and inventive terminology. Those parts had me chuckling throughout the book.
The pursuit of the serial killer is intense. The clues will keep you guessing without success. The surprising conclusion will shock you. While pursuing the leads of this killer, Kate is pursued by the man who killed her father years ago. This is an intense story. Even with all the 'action', I found myself losing interest in certain spots in the book. I had to put it down and pick it up again later.
I like Kate's character. She has an awful lot to deal with as a cop. Compound that with her personal life and it is amazing that she hasn't suffered a breakdown before this.
The most enjoyable character to date is the introduction of Joe. An acerbic, tell it like it is, insulting, obnoxious FBI agent, who amazingly gets results. His name calling (nicknaming everyone he meets) is absolutely hilarious. His insults will make you wonder how he manages to stay on the Force. I hope we see more of him.
A great mystery that just seemed to be lacking. Not for everyone.

A Good Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2014

Really enjoyed this book. Pleased that the British character is less involved than in the book in this series that I previously read (Hollywood Assasin), the book is much better because of this!
Interesting storyline, plenty of twists and turns in the plot, and a likeable main character. Will be gradually working my way through the whole series.

Very readable

Great book, hard bitten female policewoman with police dog and plenty of emotional baggage, gets drawn into the sphere of a weird set of serial killings. All characters are sort of what you expect from an American murder but even so they gel together well to
Make something fresh and interesting. I thoroughly recommend this book.

Although I had read no e of the previous books of this series, I was able to follow plot. Characters were diverse and colourful, perhaps at times rather too colourful.
Outcome was, in some cases, predictable but this did notebook the enjoyment of this pageturner.
An easy read.

Difficult to get into the book initially but then found it difficult to put down as one gets immersed in the storyline. Well worth reading.
