Alex Night has decided to move out of the private detective business and start writing mysteries.  He’s got himself an office at the Writers and Artists Building in Boulevard in Hollywood but can’t quite get past the title on the first page of his novel.  He is being plagued by clients who still want his services as a private detective.   One of these clients has a theory about a certain Fabergé Egg that’s worth ten million dollars and used to belong to Randolph Hearst and his mistress Marion Davies.  Seems there are other parties interested in the egg and dead bodies are turning up at an alarming rate.  On top of all this, Alex’s fiancée goes missing.  Ex-KGB agents, billionaire producers, beautiful killer tomatoes and a Hollywood Sex Goddess all play integral parts in the mystery of the missing egg.  Poor Alex finds himself spending too much time in grave yards, being followed by murder and mayhem and trying to be the first to unravel the mystery.  My bet is on Alex. 

Andrew J. Fenady pens an entertaining story that gives the reader a thrilling mystery and will certainly have her smiling while reading.  He spatters the story with lots of references of old movie starts, films and songs as he leads the reader into a story that is intriguing as well as humorous.   His characters are multi-dimensional and very real.  This reviewer liked how the author portrayed Alex as a man who is desperately trying to write his novel but more than procrastination is constantly thrown in his path.  His telephone calls with his mother lend humorous moments and the secondary characters give depth to the story.  Readers of mystery stories will certainly enjoy this one.  The dialogue is snappy and witty, easy to follow.  The reader can practically hear the dialogue in her head.  This reviewer felt like she was watching a movie while she was reading and it was hard to put down.  This reviewer liked the ending very much…but she will not give it away here.  A must read for sure!!
