A sought out gem
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I came across this book quite by accident but it was a very happy one. Greg Matthews manages to create a very realistic atmosphere of 1942 Hollywood and imbue it with characters that are both realistic and sympathetic. The mystery plot is a bit uneven in parts, but it's nicely wrapped up and quite cleverly done. As someone who tends to not read fiction all that much, I found myself engaged and interested. High marks.
Close to Heaven
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Matthews has written a mystery novel that is a joy to read. Smart, funny, unique, and featuring literature's greatest reluctant hero since Jean Casson from Alan Furst's "The World at Night," and "Red Gold." I've already purchased the second novel and anxiously await the further adventures of Keith Moody.
Interesting, atmospheric mystery debut
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Hollywood, 1941. Screenwriter Keith Moody is about to hit the big time with the dramatization of his cousin's heroic war exploits. Greg Matthew's first mystery is a chronicle of Moody's experience, chock full of quirky humor, nasty characters and implausable plot twists. Its satirical depiction of the movie biz, our weak but willing hero's Faustian dilemma, and a unique love interest are presented in a narrative that soars above the messy plot, creating a portrait of a corrupt and totally fascinating world, as Far From Heaven as possible. Weird and wonderful--I LOVED it
