BOOK BLURB

Baby doll top, gladiator sandals, and fully loaded iPod at the ready: it’s 2008 in Los Angeles, and Rachel West is a little less starry-eyed than your average ingenue. Copyediting a celeb gossip rag isn’t the glossy entertainment journalism Rachel thought she would be doing but hey, it pays the bills. Some of them, anyway.

Rachel’s life changes overnight after meeting Molly Byrne, a former child star and current tabloid fave for her drunken escapades and rotating cast of boyfriends, and what begins as a chance encounter in a nightclub bathroom quickly grows into a genuine friendship.

When Molly is found dead, Hollywood accepts her death as an overdose. But Rachel knows for a fact her friend was clean—and she’s not alone in her suspicions that Molly was murdered.

With the help of a ragtag group of residents from her apartment building, a friendly paparazzo, and a handsome detective, Rachel must solve the mystery of Molly’s death before she’s written off for good.

MY REVIEW

An aspiring journalist looks into the death of a celebrity, who happened to be her friend.

Rachel West and the Fallen Starlet is a charming mystery. Quirky characters and an entertaining plot. The story takes place in Los Angeles in 2008, making the setting a little nostalgic.

Rachel West and the Fallen Starlet is humorous and fun. A good read for fans of light cozy mysteries.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
