Obsession In Hollywood, it takes more than ambition to make it to the top. Murder In Hollywood, there are some secrets worth killing for. Revenge In Hollywood, living well isn't the only payback. This special audiobook brings to life the glamorous world of Hollywood's elite -- while revealing their deadliest secrets as only Jackie Collins can! From Library Journal Collins capably narrates her latest fable of Hollywood's aristocracy, originally released as a four-part paperback serial novel. More quickly paced than her previous novel, Thrill (Audio Reviews, LJ 4/15/98), L.A. Connections will please listeners looking for a wild ride with the rich and famous inhabitants of Tinsel Town. The action centers around Madison Castelli, a journalist covering "the rich, notorious, and powerful" for Manhattan Style magazine. Her new assignment takes her to Hollywood to interview Freddie Leon, a renowned but rather reclusive talent agent. Madison soon finds herself covering the story of her career when the up-and-coming starlet whom she just interviewed is found brutally murdered. The narrative shifts rapidly among characters, which also include a serial killer with a penchant for prostitutes, the proprietor of a call girl service for the stars, and a high-class prostitute with a heart of gold. Though the finale is somewhat contrived, Collins's many fans will not be disappointed. Public libraries should buy for demand.ABeth Farrell, Portage Cty. Dist.
