My Thoughts
This book lets us encounter the Old Hollywood, diving into the glamorous underworld of true crime and mobsters. A real pageturner, it has a kind of something that keeps the readers tout of intrigue from the very beginning until the end. Shorter could have been the backstories of Lana and Mickey Cohen, however, the plot pops. With Johny Stompanato appearing the story becomes captivating and he introduces another subplot in which mystery and danger are involved.
The ease with which the author deals with these issues is visibly portrayed in the form of a thought-provoking manner and without resorting to sensationalism or changing the truth. The writing approach is maintained throughout and a moderate voice is used, making the readers absorb the information and feel themselves being a part of the story. The book warns that in the realm of the famous, the rich, and the powerful, skeletons and unsavory truths can be unveiled with careful digging and subtle poking.
Overall, this lengthy paragraph reflects the book’s talent in hypnotizing the audience over Old Hollywood, true crime, and mobsters. With the author’s skilled narrative and impartial approach, the book is a must-read for people trying to unmask the profound truths of the film industry.
Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.
