Dream Town

Eve Ronin - Book 5

  • Rating: full starfull starfull starfull starstar outline (4/5)

You don’t watch enough Westerns…

I was glad that Eve is back, recovered after the last case. I think I would feel like she did seeing her recent life portrayed on film. I’m glad Duncan is still around not only to be Eve’s partner but also to share his long experience.  Besides, he has some great lines. Keep watch for the one about following a desperado into a ravine.

Eve is still struggling to be accepted and the filming at the station is not helping. I was fascinated about Hidden Hills after reading this story and looked it up.

The crimes were very current and I didn’t figure out whodunit at all. Not as much action as other Eve cases but still good.

Happy Reading!

Plot Summary

A gated dream town for the megarich becomes a murderous nightmare in a riveting Eve Ronin thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg. Hidden Hills is a private celebrity enclave of white picket fences and horse trails that seems to exist in a dreamworld. But when reality superstar Kitty Winslow is killed within their gates and corpses are found in the vast state park outside them, LASD detective Eve Ronin realizes there is a deadly, razor-thin line between what’s real and what’s imagined. Eve discovers that Kitty’s surreal on- and off-camera life, a blur of fact and fantasy, shockingly mirrors her own as she struggles to investigate the killings, wade into a music industry war, and battle a vicious Chilean gang―all while her life is being turned into a fictional cop show directed by her estranged father. Eve’s grip on reality and the case is strained to the breaking point as the slayings continue, the media frenzy reaches a fever pitch, and the only inescapable truth she can see is death…and it’s coming for her.
