Very cool idea for a book, and an excellent execution of that idea. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Recommended. .

I love it when a book comes together as this one did. This was a tightly woven and solid plot that left nothing to chance keeping me glued to the pages as I had to know how it was going to turn out. The narrative was intense and at time I felt like I was part of the story-line, feeling the heat and urging them on, as the dialogue told the story. The main characters had pivotal roles that told a portion of the story, and once the clues were uncovered, led to the killer’s identity.

I think I would have liked to read the first book before I read this one but it ticked all my boxes. Murder, old hollywood, beautiful girls... It was a fun read and I'll look out for more by the author

Beyond a Doubt is the second in the Carol Childs series. I came away from this one feeling the same way I did about the first one - I liked it, but I didn’t love it. Carol is a divorced mother who’s in her second career as a radio news reporter. The things that happen in the radio station feel authentic, as does her relationship with her kids & friends. But she inserts herself in the stories she reports on, perhaps a bit too deeply since she finds she’s put herself in peril in each of the first two books. Her significant other is conveniently in the FBI. I think what puts me off a bit about both books is the decisions Carol makes at times - she knows what she should do, but she finds a way to rationalize doing the not-so-smart thing instead, and finds herself in danger. I’ll read more in the series, just to see if she starts making better decisions. I hope she does, because there’s promise here.
