Hollywood Life and Crimes
This is the through Daniel Depp thriller I've read. I've enjoyed each of them. However, this one contains more philosophical insight than the previous two . The protagonist spends a lot of time trying to examine himself and his weaknesses as he lunges through the underbelly and the high lives of Hollywood. Fortunately Depp is adept at this type of writing and it adds depth and texture rather than distracting from the story.

I love Daniel Depp's books. Wry, hard nosed but also endearing. I wait eagerly for his next book.
