An unputdownable mystery
Thanks to the title “Red Wolves: A Holliwoodland Mystery” author A. G. Macdonald is fairly compared with well-known celebrities such as Agatha Christie and James Ellroy. The book is intriguing, motivating and shocking.
I started reading it and I realized it was not the first of the series. Although I highly recommend future readers not to follow my steps, it was possible for me to understand the plot and get to know the characters. I could not empathise with the main character, an ex pilot called Rex Home, perhaps because I saw him as a distant but clever character. However, I had fun reading this detective story and for this reason I give it three stars.

Being the fourth installment in the Hollywoodland Mysteries, Red Wolves is a very good read that captured my attention as soon as I read the description of its plot. This is certainly the perfect reading for those who are fans of mysteries - of good mysteries in fact. The book has an interesting mixture of narrative and films; the author was able to mix those two things and have a great result in it.
I would recommend this reading because it is a page-turner and unputdownable; also, its setting is well achieved and its characters are completely developed with a good background story. A solid read without a doubt.

Entertaining
This was an entertaining detective mystery story. I certainly like mysteries and was convinced by the one presented in this book. I think the author did a very good job with the plot and its development. I must admit that I found some parts to be a bit slow so I think the pace can be improved and also the story shorter.
Anyways, I liked the story and how characters were built. I would read more books by author A. G. Macdonald. Red Wolves: A HOLLYWOODLAND Mystery was a good reading to pass the time. It is entertaining.
