The Vanity

by Robert S Murillo

It’s three o’clock in the morning in Beverly Hills and fiction writer Mike Lundy is standing at his front window, watching a vintage Duesenberg slowly pass by his house. Sitting in the backseat is popular silent film star Louise Brooks, hoping to recover compromising photos she has left at Mike’s house. Possible? Yes, if it were 1927. But Mike lives in the year 2011!And the photos? They’re in the possession of her cuckold husband, movie director Eddie Sutherland, who has plans to turn the pictures over to the Los Angeles Times—unaware that the exposé will not only lead to his and Louise’s banishment from the movie industry but to her suicide and his murder. Mike, able to see their futures, must decide if he should try to stop Eddie from publishing the revealing photos. But if he does, he realizes he would be altering the past, and in doing so, changing history.

[Beverly Rosendahl · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you like old Hollywood or the silent film actress Louise Brooks, then this book is for you! I really liked this book and the plot was very interesting and different. There was time travel, love triangles, mystery. It had 2 stories that were connected. The author Robert S. Murillo, managed to make it interesting and not confusing at all, which can be hard when you basically are telling 2 different stories that have somehow come together as one in the end!
