I really enjoyed this one - it might be my new second favorite of Moreno-Garcia’s (next to Silver Nitrate). This really immerses us in the Hollywood studio system and slowly reveals the mystery of what happened to Vera and Nancy. I do wish the characters had a bit more subtlety - that Vera was slightly less perfect, that Nancy was slightly less cartoonishly evil, and that we learned more about Joe. But the writing keeps us moving quickly and I had a fun time!
