Reid seems to have a terrible character as portrayed by your review. I'd like to know more about why he is like that and the roles Alton would play in the story.

Blackmail, in all its manifestations, is a strong instrument that crafty people frequently employ to get their way. Looking forward to reading about Reid Garrett's use of this strategy to take advantage of his victims. This book sounds like it would be quite suspenseful! Congrats on botd!

Extremely interesting crime thriller about duplicitous nature of rich and famous. It would gave been astonishing how someone could hide anything while put in the spotlight, but then again everyone knows that distraction is the best tactic of magic tricks. Thanks for recommendation and congrats with BOTD!

Knowing that Reid has powerful personalities as enablers is a very vital reason to get to the revelation of what transpired in this intriguing storyline. Kudos.

Thanks for your review! I'm not sure what a "typical" Hollywood murder is (as it says in the subtitle), but this story sounds entertaining. Both Alton Price and Reid Garrett sound intriguing as opposing characters.

This fast-paced thriller follows Reid Garrett as he works his charm on people only to masquerade his real character of being a killer, rapist and exploiter.

The first few pages of this book are attention grabbers and exceptionally well written. I was right there with the author experiencing every minute, from the high-rise swan dive to the perfectly made martini. Cheers to the author on BOTD!

'Official Review: Dark Vanity' by Gregory E Seller has a fascinating introduction. All the positive aspects of the story about a sociopathic Hollywood star have been brought to the knowledge of readers in the review. The point that the story is a complex mixture of character relationships and clandestine affairs is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that the book highlights the dangers of drug use and addiction, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the book has a satisfactory ending!

I have to agree with this review the plot was excellent and dynamic. The authors starts this book with a shocking scene and the explanation that followed showed several shocking and intriguing twists. It really does seem like a wonderful book.
