Reviews

[Jay Douglass · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a spellbound thriller and page turner. The backdrop of Hollywood further enhances this suspense filled novel.

The plot is fluid, the characters quirky and the descriptive adjectives used by this gifted author create vivid imagery.

The storyline is not contrived and it is in fact humorous at times despite the genre.

I'm anxious to read Per Hampton's next book which comes out later this year. He's an amazing storyteller.
