I LOVE Susan Kandel's Cece Caruso mysteries. The plot always ends up taking a thousand twists and turns so you never see what's coming, but at the end it always makes sense and ties up beautifully. I also love the descriptions of California, Cece's vintage clothing, food and the mystery writers she writes about. In this book (the third in the series) a film titled Dash! is being filmed, based on Cece's biography of mystery writer Dashiell Hammett (The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man.) Cece's been hired to educate the actor on portraying him, but it doesn't take long before a mysterious death pulls her in many different directions. This has become one of my favorite mystery series, and I highly recommend it!
