A review by jill_rey
The Unlocking Season by Gail Bowen
3.0
Joanne’s life has been fraught with despair and drama. It’s for that reason a six-episode limited series is being developed on her life, friendship and childhood. But, when the writer dies mysteriously and a series of events seeks to further derail the project, it seems more may be a stake than just a TV series.
The Unlocking Season provides readers an intimate look inside the production and dramatics of filmmaking and friendships. This book takes readers into a theatrical world of chaos. Who knew so much could go wrong? This read almost provides too much in depth and descriptive details on the innerworkings of the film industry as they become somewhat distracting from the underlying thrills, suspense and mystery. But, ultimately the unwinding of the director’s mysterious death, how each character played a role, and the loveable family Joanne has created in adulthood win out for a pleasurable, if at times creepy, read.
