Book Details
Title: Trouble in Glamour Town
Author: S.R. Mallery
Publication Date: November 12, 2017

Murder. Corruption. Romance. Movie stars. A modern day TV shoot ‘em up?

No. It’s 1926 Old Hollywood, and a film producer is gunned down in cold blood. In comes Rosie, a pretty bit-player, who, in spite of her stage-mother’s expectations, just longs to be happy. Silent screen idols Clara Bow, Gloria Swanson, Lon Chaney, and Rudolph Valentino float in and out, as Los Angeles’ corruption is exposed, the era described, and a chase to find the killer revs up before there’s another hit.
“Trouble in Glamour Town is very historically accurate, portraying the real workings of the Hollywood sleaze, dishonesty and corruption happening at that time. S.R. Mallery is a gifted author who drew me into the story from the first word and kept me reading until the very last page…Trouble in Glamour Town is an old fashioned type of murder mystery story and is a very good read.” – Trudi LoPreto for Readers’ Favorite

My Review
Trouble in Glamour Town, a historical mystery set in 1920’s Hollywood, is my first read by S.R. Mallery. The book begins with a film producer being gunned down in cold blood from a long distance and piqued my interest from the start. The cover art was amazing.

Detective Frank Lozano is the straight-arrow detective investigating the homicide. Rosie Paige is an actress trying to make it big as a Hollywood star while trying to keep her morals which is rare in her business. I really liked both of these authentic characters. Historical fiction/mystery is one of my favorite genres and the 1920’s old Hollywood is also a favorite time period/setting. The author mixes in real celebrities from the time period like Clara Bow, Lon Chaney, Gloria Swanson, and Rudolph Valentino. It was fun for me to look up and read more about them.

The mix of historical mystery, a little romance, and old Hollywood makes for a great read. I recommend this to those who love historical mysteries and 1920’s Hollywood. Loved it!! Just an overall great book. Thanks to S.R. Mallery and Amy Bruno at HF Virtual Book Tours for the opportunity to review this book.
