The Tinseltown Murderer | Maureen Driscoll
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
In the second book of the Remington Mansion Mystery series, time travelers Josie Matthews and David Remington visit 1936 Hollywood to fight Nazi influence in Los Angeles.
When Josie Matthews accidentally traveled back to a house party in 1929, little did she know she was changing history for the worse. It was only after returning to modern-day Oregon that she realized she had inadvertently prolonged World War II. She and her husband, David Remington, must now go back to correct history, being careful not to change anything again.
In 1936 they reunite with friends, including actor Kurt Franklin whose new German girlfriend may be a Nazi spy. As Hollywood studios court the German film market and local communists clash with the Los Angeles chapter of the Hitler Youth, associates of Josie and David are killed by the Tinseltown Murderer -- and all signs point to the fact it's someone they know. Josie and David have to fix history without becoming the Tinseltown Murderer's next victims.
Set in a fascinating period of real-life Los Angeles, THE TINSELTOWN MURDERER is a fictional story of crime, friendship and the perfect martini, during Hollywood's golden age.

This story felt very authentic with the descriptions of old Hollywood, the styles, the people, and activities taking place. I liked how there was a true foreshadowing throughout which would later come to be known as the Hollywood blacklist. The plot was political as well as historical but I also enjoyed the relationships between characters. Then there was a crafty whodunit that kept me on my toes as the suspects were narrowed down one by one.
