A review by rmarcin
The Disappearing Act by Catherine Steadman

4.0

I enjoyed Catherine Steadman's first novel, Something in the Water, so I was excited to read her latest novel. In this novel, Steadman tells a story about acting and the industry. When Mia Eliot is dumped by her boyfriend for a starlet, she leaves London to audition for some roles in Hollywood. While waiting to be called for an audition, she meets another actress, Emily. Emily asks Mia for a favor, and when Mia does it and returns to the audition room, Emily is gone. So begins Mia's obsession to find out what happened to Emily.
Strange things begin occurring, people aren't who they seem, and finally a confession scene takes place.
Acting is a story that Steadman knows well, as she is an actress herself.
I liked this novel, it was a quick read, but I am not sure I bought into what Mia's stalker was able to do/survive.
