Product Description:
1940s Hollywood comes alive in this sequel to The Prince of Beverly Hills.
Rick Barron—former Beverly Hills cop, now head of production of Centurion pictures—returns in a page turning novel of murder, political intrigue, and betrayal. Set in 1940s Hollywood, it is the era of the “Red Scare”—when almost anyone could be suspect.

I liked reading the Prince of Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills Dead was no different. The writing was crisp. Stuart Woods really knows how to make his books snap, crackle, and pop with dialogue. I became involved in the story of Rick Barron and company immediately.
Woods seems to have an infinite knowledge of aviation and the wonderful world of Hollyweird.I enjoy reading both subjects. Keep up the good work Mr. Woods!

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.
