Marsha Woerner reviewed Tinseltown by William J. Mann
Review of 'Tinseltown' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
It was okay: the whole first part was basically introduction of characters, but it was definitely way too long, and the title made it feel like there is significantly more emphasis on drugs and the murder itself – murder in general – general misbehaving in the Hollywood group. Yes, the misuse of drugs was mentioned, and of course there was the one murder, definitely fraud amongst a small group, but other than the fact that religious nutballs were afraid that movies or cinema overall was going to corrupt the American public, one didn't get the overall feeling of debauchery in Hollywood as the title seems to impress.
