Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
New York Times-bestselling author Stuart Woods returns with the sequel to The Prince of Beverly Hills-a page-turning novel of murder, political intrigue, and betrayal set in 1940s Hollywood, the era of the 'Red Scare,' when almost anyone could be a suspect.
Rick Barron, a former Beverly Hills cop, has risen to head of production of Centurion Pictures, and he's at the top of his game. But tensions are high in Hollywood, and when Rick's friend Sidney Brooks, a successful screenwriter, receives a subpoena from the House Un-American Activities Committee, Rick isn't surprised. The witch hunt is spreading, and those under investigation are Rick's closest friends-even his wife, the glamorous starlet Glenna Gleason.
Set in a time of suspicion and uncertainty, Beverly Hills Dead is Stuart Woods's best novel yet-a fast-paced and sexy thriller full of the nail-biting twists and startling turns that Woods fans always expect.

This book is totally different from others by Stuart Woods. It deals with McCarthyism in Hollywood and I wasn't sure I would like it. Woods, as always, puts together a great story with believable characters. The storyline, based on real events, flowed. another winner for Stuart Woods!

While I've really enjoyed previous efforts by Stuart Woods, this one wasn't up to expectations. It was like he had a number of ideas for short stories, but since the contract was for a novel, he put several ideas together whether they meshed well or not. The plot jumps from post-World War II movie making to the hearings of the House UnAmerican Activities Committee to lesbian to a murder mystery. Characters that seem to be major players fade out of the plot. Some come back much later, but others either don't reappear or do so as bit players. I understand having several plot threads, but these don't come together to make any sort of tapestry. It by no means is boring, however, and is by no means the worst book I've read. It simply isn't up to the standards Woods has set for himself in past efforts.

This book is so dull it's extraordinary it got published. SW is writing to write, without character development or narrative development. If one is to already have know Rick Barron from other books, Beverly Hills Dead would not wet ones appetite to read others. I was so stun by the abrupt ending I thought pages had been deleted.

As with many other reviews in this section, I think this book was a loser. Little plot, little character development, lame who-dunnit with no clues to lead you to the real killer--many clues were dead end--characters briefly introduce and then dropped out of the text. I'm glad I got it at the library and didn't have to pay for it.
