Your review resonated with me, Laney. I sampled the episode of a hitman trying to shoot Dash as he drives. Like you, I loved the suspense and the humor! I have yet to read about the codes and other aspects of the mystery, but this is definitely a perfect read!

Great review! The beginning of the book took me on a thrilling chase through the streets of Los Angeles. I had to laugh at the name of the astrologer, Dash Harwood. A typical fake Hollywood name!

"Crimeline Hollywood" by Thomas Collins is a thrilling, hilarious mystery. With suspenseful twists, witty humor, and well-crafted characters, this book earns a flawless 5 out of 5 stars. A must-read for adult fans of action-packed whodunits and astrology-infused crime fiction.

I'm impressed by the descriptive prose and attention to detail that the author has skillfully woven into this novel. He also made sure to keep the reader engaged throughout the book, taking one on various adventures that are vividly presented in one's mind, creating a sense of presence within the reader. One would assume that certain aspects of the book appear to be irrelevant, such as the astrology; however, as one delve deeper, it all fits the puzzle in a meticulous way. I am also impressed by the way Mr. Collins highlighted the determination of the protagonist, and despite all the efforts and success that he contributed, he still managed to maintain his humbleness. It's also refreshing to see that the book didn't entirely end in a manner that gives the protagonist everything that he desires; instead, he is content with how things turned out for him even if they didn't go his way.

The review suggests the beauty of the story in an expressive and detailed way. It really does sound like a Hollywood story. Mystery and action with a little bit of humor here and there makes the plot more enjoyable. Congrats on BOTD

I read this book and found it entertaining. The Hollywood astrologer set to try to find out who kidnapped Sparklynn before she could die from not receiving her medicine turned out to be a twisted thriller for me. Great review.

Having read this book, I believe it is one of those books that will keep you entertained till the end. Dash's character was the most inspiring to me, and the fact that he came out of hiding under a false identity to help his kidnapped friend showed true loyalty. Congratulations on BOTD.

An astrologer has been summoned to help with the kidnapping of his most important client. Will the astrologer and Rebecca find the kidnapped on time? I really love how this book combines humor and suspense so effortlessly.

I have never been to Hollywood myself, but thanks to numerous mentions and descriptions of the place in popular culture, none the least I am fascinated with it. This book sounds delightful in review and I just can't wait to read it!

A comedy and thriller in one. I like the beginning when Dash is arguing with Nigel. Side splitting funny. Love the review!

The mix of suspenseful moments, such as the high-speed car chase, with lighthearted humor adds depth and entertainment to the narrative. After reading the sample on Amazon, I decided to put this interesting read on my shelf. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

I would love to know the reason for Sparklynn kidnap and it's actually interesting having to leave codes for dash to crack.
