Haven't read anything else in this series. It is a murder investigation using a lot of Hollywood stars as characters. It includes backstories on all the real players and is filled with gossip. Their personalities play out as you would expect a behind the scene story to go. The mystery itself is a play on the plot of the Maltese Falcon which Bogart is about to start filming. Fun read as a one off but don't think I'll pursue the series.
