I am so glad to have found Michael Murphy and am looking forward to the next book in this series. I suppose it makes them sound tough but Bogart, Cagney and the others never spoke like that and those stories are classics. My only complaint was the language it is “R” rated. The characters in this book are so well done you would swear they are real. Mr. Murphy really knows how to write a good story and he has the uncanny ability to transport you back in time so that you feel that you are there. “All That Glitters” is a top-notch thriller filled with blackmail, betrayal and murder. Now he is trying to solve the case to get himself off the hook. The the person he gets into an argument with is murdered and Jake is the prime suspect. Laura is going to be in a movie, Jake is hired to help with the plot.
Though I do recommend that you read the first one just for the sheer enjoyment of it. Don’t worry you can read this all by itself and it will be just fine. Jake and Laura have now arrived in Hollywood after the events of the first book, “The Yankee Club”.
Blackie Doyle, the tough-talking, fist-swinging, womanizing hero from Jake’s novels wouldn’t pull any punches until he exposed the real killer-nor will Jake, to keep the role of a lifetime from being his last. With gossip columnist Louella Parsons dead-set on publicizing the charges against him, Jake has no choice but to do what everyone else does in the City of Angels: act like someone else. Proving his innocence won’t be easy in a town where sex, seduction, and naked power run rampant. And since Jake exchanged words with the hothead just hours before his death, the bestselling author becomes the LAPD’s prime suspect. But peace and quiet are not to be had when an all-too-real murder plot intrudes: After a glitzy party, the son of a studio honcho is discovered dead from a gunshot wound. At her side, of course, is Jake Donovan, under pressure to write his next mystery novel.
Just arrived from New York, Broadway actress Laura Wilson is slated to star in Hollywood’s newest screwball comedy. Michael Murphy in his new book, “ All That Glitters” Book Two in the Jake & Laura Mystery Series published by Alibi gives us another adventure with Jake Donovan & Laura Wilson.įrom the back cover: In Michael Murphy’s rollicking new Jake & Laura mystery, the hard-boiled writer and the aspiring movie star head for sun-drenched Los Angeles, where a cold-blooded murderer lurks behind the scenes.
