As LAPD detective Kate Delafield investigates the Thanksgiving Day strychnine poisoning of retired movie director Owen Sinclair, she discovers that he turned over names to the House of Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950s and destroyed countless careers. But which of his charmingly eccentric neighbours, most of whom have worked in Hollywood since the 1940s, might be responsible for what now appears to be a revenge killing?

The story starts with a murder as usual. The murder of a man who had been an informer during the McCarthy hearings. All those who live in the rent controlled Beverly Malibu apartments are suspects and I was pleasently surprised that Forrest kept me guessing for who of the suspects actually did it.
I'm also starting to like the character of Detective Ed Taylor, perhaps Forrest is writing him differently, or maybe I'm just getting used to the character.
Kate is still Kate, but while in the first two books she didn't seem to grow as a character, in this one she does and I'm interested to see where Forrest will go with Kate in the next novels in the series.
A solid novel, good mystery, and a whole lotta references to Candace Bergen. (
