wondered how anyone ever felt at home here,
where there was nothing you
could trust to hold on to, not even the ground beneath your feet.—Dazzled

Synopsis: Feisty
one-liner actress Nikki Easton finds herself embroiled in a quest to
either find out who murdered her best friend—the "dazzling" aspiring
actress Darla—or verify that the unrecognizable corpse buried in the
Hollywood Forever Cemetery is really someone else. Along the way, Nikki
finds herself smitten with a sexy cop, looks for clues at a Playboy-type
mansion, and tangles with unsavory Underworld characters whose antics
and shocking connections are nearly indistinguishable from the rest of
Hollywood's movers who slither through this book. Sex, drugs and lost
souls who are torn between the need to be "somebody" and the desire to
flee L.A. keep this mystery ticking like the proverbial time bomb.
Review:
Maxine Nunes'
Dazzled
is a tale told with such precision for atmospheric details, lifestyle
annoyances and pitch perfect dialogue, it should come with a cautionary
disclaimer for Los Angelenos:
"Warning: May induce the sensation that you are still inside the plot every time you look up from the book."
