A review by holdenkillfield
Hollywood Homicide by Kellye Garrett
3.0
This was a comedy of errors from start to end and amusing throughout. With the flying accusations and the protagonist bumbling through an investigation out of a sheer need for cash, rather than a calling, albeit in leopard stilettos, it brought a fresh look at the accidental detective trope and was entertaining to read. I can see Garrett was influenced by Barbara Neely's Blanche White character.
The characters, especially the main character, Dayna, and her close-knit crew all had distinctive personalities, some larger than others, that brought the story to life.
The running commentary that Dayna had about life, situations, and other characters was hilarious. Kellye Garrett is funny and I found myself chuckling at dialogue or a zinger a character would throw out.
It really was like reading a sitcom as the mystery was forefront but so were the lives of the characters that were just as entertaining, especially when they live in LA.
