In 1943 Hollywood, the Hollywood Canteen serves as a glamorous hub for servicemen, staffed by showbiz stars. Annie Laurence, a murder mystery playwright fresh from a painful breakup, hopes to connect with influential figures to help her film aspirations. However, the allure of Hollywood quickly fades when film critic Fiona Farris is found dead in the Canteen kitchen, revealing that any of the club's glamorous volunteers could be the murderer. To uncover the truth, Annie joins Fiona's circle, a cynical group known as the Ambassador's Club, each member grappling with their own discontent. As Annie navigates their secrets and lies, she realizes that solving a real murder is far more complex than writing one for the stage, and she may have put herself in danger. This captivating mystery immerses readers in the drama and absurdity of wartime Hollywood, featuring sharp dialogue, dry wit, and richly flawed characters. With a deep understanding of the era's films and music, the narrative shines with authenticity, delivering humor and suspense that keeps readers engaged until the very end. A must-read for fans of the genre.
