"The Seventh Veil of Salome" is set in 1950s Hollywood with all of the grit and glamour of that time. There's lots of drama as there is a slow reveal of what occurred around this movie set. Although there are multiple POVs, the main characters are: Vera, who is a new actress discovered in Mexico and cast as Salome in a sword and sandals flick; Nancy, who is an absolute hot mess and will do anything to make it in Hollywood; and Salome, who is the focus of the film. The perspective of Salome honestly slowed the pace of the book for me and I didn’t like the book as much as I hoped I would, but I did enjoy it. I listened to the audiobook and the full cast added to the experience.
