Gabe McKenna can hardly believe his luck when he has an opportunity to serve as historical adviser for a film starring his teenage crush, Simone St. Cyr. But pretty soon dead bodies are littering the film set ... and he's a prime suspect.
This thriller is also an interesting look at New Mexico's very active film industry, where the author once made his living. The book is a splendid example of "write what you know," combined with many twists, turns, and red herrings to keep the reader interested.
I didn't see the ultimate "whodunnit" coming at all, which is kind of nice.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy thrillers, mysteries, and books set in the desert Southwest.

No crime fiction author does it better than Bob Kidera. Addictive reading, yet ANOTHER cracker to add to an already stunning series.
A tale of comebacks, death threats and bitter rivalries in the dark heart of film, Cut. Print. Kill.,the third book in the Gabe McKenna series, showcases Gabe McKenna at his unstoppable best. With its trademark blend of sharp wit, this book is yet another example of why Robert Kidera remains in the top ranks of New Mexico crime writers.
Kidera has successfully created his own brand of unforgettable fiction and Cut.Print.Kill. hits the canny nexus of mystery with its many twists and turns. The rare hypnotic pull and artful playfulness in his writing make these books hard to put down, not to mention a sweeping assortment of characters to season the plot. Gabe’s scathing dialogue is laugh-out-loud funny in places and the descriptions of Tony Fredericks had me chuckling. With its 30’s ‘black & white’ feel this book is sure to be a hit with Robert D. Kidera fans everywhere.

Another 5 star book
I thoroughly enjoyed the first two of the Gabe McKenna books so I had high hopes for the third. Cut. Print. Kill did not disappoint. Mr Kidera spins a magnificent tale that captures the suspense the characters feel and the grandeur of the New Mexico landscape.

I’ve found this book, 3rd in the series to be just as exciting as the first two....maybe more so with the twists and turns that keep you on your toes!
I found myself having to back track a bit to make sure I didn’t miss what was ahead!
I’m onto the 4th adventure.......

Getting Better
Kidera’s books are getting better. This one started off with a bit of a stretch. It it came together. The books are entertaining and that is what I am looking for right now.

This series is what I would call ‘easy reading’ – they’re good but not brilliant. Something you can listen to without having to pay much attention to details or plot. It’s got a good setting, with some interesting characters, but there’s not a huge amount of ‘meat’ to the story.
I liked this one less than the other two I’ve read – while the film is mostly interesting, the crime storyline around it is very thin and the romance storyline is insipid. It really feels very light on the entire storyline – it’s as if the author intends Gabe’s charm to carry the story – it actually sort of does.
It’s a solid, easy read but if you want something with some weight to it, this might not be what you’re looking for.

"An Exciting Murder Mystery"
This is a great story of mystery as only Kidera can create. It's lightening fast and captivating preventing you to set your alarm clock as you thrust through the pages at night. Join the group ... read this great story! Available as e-book.
