Welcome to Litsy!

Late last night I finished the 1st book for #OutstandingOctober - 7 hours read so far. The series is set in Hollywood during the 1940s and always has some connection to films. This time Toby needs to solve a mystery involving Bela Lugosi and William Faulkner. #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter (15 pts) #Scarathon #BookSpin #SpookoweenReadathon #Wickedathon @Andrew65 @Clwojick @4thhouseontheleft @TheSpineView @StayCurious

Book 5 in a series and of course I read no prior books. I still enjoyed it. Toby Peters is a Private Detective in Hollywood. This book takes place over a few days in January 1942 and he's looking into threats on Bela Lugosi and trying to get William Faulkner off a murder charge. Nothing groundbreaking, but fun to visit old Hollywood. Toby is broke and his body is breaking down, but he keeps at it. Might read others in series if I find them.

I'm waiting on Covid test results. I have no symptoms & my guy is negative, but I had contact with the same infected person so I'm waiting it out at the hotel where I work. I paused my reading for some wine & a stretch then turned on Smackdown. My favorite wrestler popped up tonight and now I'm bummed I don't have a Highlander romance here with me. Oh well, back to my pulpy mystery.
