After an exile from MGM, ousted screenwriter Marcus Adler is looking for his way back into the biz. When he hatches a plan to start over with a disgraced movie star, a Hollywood censor reminds Marcus that the misdeeds of the past aren’t soon forgotten.
Hollywood Reporter columnist Kathryn Massey is always looking for a hot tip. She never expected it would come from Lauren Bacall, and point her toward a new career high. But when a trip to the set of Sunset Boulevard reveals a haunting glimpse into her past, Kathryn isn’t sure who to trust, especially when a hot new rival hits town.
Gwendolyn Brick thought her new store would be a hit, but she never realized it could become a target. Threatened by Los Angeles’ most notorious madam, Gwendolyn will need a Hollywood-style miracle to keep her store alive.
"Twisted Boulevard" is the sixth installment in the Hollywood’s Garden of Allah saga. If you like richly woven details, the Golden Age of Hollywood, and characters who come to life, then you’ll love Martin Turnbull’s captivating historical fiction series.
Customer Reviews
Another truly enjoyable read!
I am thoroughly enjoying this series. I initially downloaded a sample then forgot about it, but when I came back to read it, got sucked right in! The name drops of old Hollywood catch your eye immediately, however it’s the friendship between the three main characters, Marcus, Kathryn and Gwendolyn that keep me invested. I find myself reading with my browser open to quickly google Hollywood elite and places I don’t recognize, which takes me in a quick side trip learning more about the golden age of Hollywood. I find it’s complimenting my read of the book, as I can paint a fuller, more vibrant picture in my mind. Like the color of Gwendolyn’s lucky scarf ;)
Can't wait for the next one
Did it to me again. I turn each page anxious, delighted, hoping for Kathleen, Gwendolyn, and Marcus. I hope there is another one on the way
