Book Reviews of Hollywood Moon: A Novel (Hollywood Station)

Book Review: A Fun Read About the LAPD and a Bunch of Con Men
Summary: 4 Stars

The story takes awhile to develop but it is entertaining nonetheless. Throughout the book there are several small little vignettes of LA police officers (Hollywood Nate, Dana, Flotsam, Jetsam, etc. are some of their names) responding to different calls. Each one of these little tales helps to paint a picture of the various personalities of each police officer. As the reader gets deeper into the book, you realize that there are two recurring plotlines in some of these tales the first involving a con man (Dewey) who is running various schemes with his wife (Eunice) and two of his main runners (Creole and Jerzy), the second involves a troubled teen (Malcom) who has a problem with his mother and his anger.



As the book unfolds, Malcom starts to get drawn into Dewey's schemes and Creole and Jerzy attempt to get the better of Dewey. We learn that Dewey is actually under the thumb of Eunice who may be "smarter" than them all. An overall fun book but not for those that are into tense police drama.
