“Star Struck is a beguiling and enthralling look behind the Hollywood curtain through the eyes of a wonderful protagonist, costume designer Joey Jessop. This elegant mystery novel shows what it’s like to make a movie through the eyes of Joey and a full cast of fascinating, and sometimes malignant, characters who drive this fascinating plot and keep us guessing until the end. Like a good film, Star Struck will draw you in and hold your attention until the closing credits, so I highly recommend you pop the popcorn and enjoy the ride.”
