A great book by a fantastic author. The writing is excellent and the mystery keeps you turning the pages. Characters are well developed. Highly recommend.

This is a delightful cosy mystery with aspiring actress, Kendall Whitaker, with the starring role! She's working as the personal assistant to the Marketing Director at Blossom Studios, hoping this will give her a way in to a significant role to give her a huge hand toward stardom. However, when her high school nemesis and a handsome leading man come into the Studios, Kendall never dreamt that her new role would involve discovering one of her colleagues murdered and her boss mysteriously disappeared! With a central role in the on-going drama, Kendall just can't decide who to trust, though maybe the detective in charge of the investigation might have his own role in future? As someone is trying to destroy the studio, who will be the next victim - and why? Can Kendall keep herself safe?

This is a fun cosy mystery and easy to escape into with great characters and plenty of laughs as well as dramatic events before the murderer is revealed. It is the first story in a new series and I'll certainly be looking out for future books in this series and by this author. There are laugh out loud escapades, plenty of twists and turns and a suspense-filled conclusion in this great read.

I requested and was gifted a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest review after choosing to read it.

This is the first I have read of this author; however, it will not be the last. Kendall is an aspiring actor and she gets a job as an assistant to a marketing director at the studio as a potential stepping-stone into the movies. Unfortunately, what she is starring in is a double murder and there are definitely some love interests, high school nemesis and lots of actions. Clever story line and engaging plot. Enjoyed this story. Want to read more.

I enjoyed this book so much that I hope it is the start of a series!

Based on the 'blurb', I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this book but I couldn't put the book down. The characters were likable and felt 'real'. The mystery had twists and turns and kept me guessing to the end. The movie industry from the inside is quite interesting and also helped to keep my attention. I'm looking forward to more cozies by this author!

Good read. Great characters and story flow. Interesting and entertaining look into the Hollywood scene. The mystery was done well and it was hard in the cast of characters to pick the "who done it". Liked the book! Hard to put this one down. Keeps you guessing until the end. Would recommend.

Wow! Murders, sabatage, lies, threats, and one crazy person makes a pretty intense script! I never knew wanting to be an actress can be so dangerous. It was a well written story and a quick read. Everyone's a suspect but can YOU guess who is the killer? On a side note, I liked where they mentioned Chandler from "Freinds." It made me smile.

As an avid reader of the ChickLit books by Melissa Baldwin, I was thrilled to see that she wrote a cozy mystery. This book was a great cozy that had a bit of mystery and a hunk of romance. I found myself not wanting to stop reading because I needed to know who did it. A grab-your-attention read that you won't want to put down!

4.5- I absolutely love cozy mysteries and finding another fantastic author in this genre made my day. I enjoyed this book tremendously, from the comedy to the mystery. This book was fun from the first pages and the author did an amazing job describing the scenes in Kendall's life. Every page was full of so many unexpected plot twists that it made it easy to read in a few hours. Thank you for allowing me to read this and write a honest response.

I’m a big fan of Melissa Baldwin and a huge cozy mystery fan, so I was ecstatic when she announced she was writing a cozy. The cover is perfect, they storyline is amazing, and I’ll probably reread it just to enjoy the story again. I loved living in Kendall’s world. Between the murders, crazy run-ins with Kendall’s teenage nemesis, flourishing and floundering friendships, and sparks of romance—I won’t share my #TeamNewBoyfriend, because spoilers—Melissa did a stellar job of keeping the tone light and cozy, and definitely left me with a list of possible suspects until the very end! I’ll definitely be begging Melissa to write another cozy for me soon!

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Thanks to #Movie scripts and madness, Melissa Brown and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book in return for my honest opinion.

I enjoyed this. It’s a fluffy, easy read. I’d compare it to watching an episode of Columbo.

No thrills, but, some murders to solve and the lead character is just the person to do just that. Despite guessing the murderer partway through, I continued to be entertained.

So, in summary, grab your popcorn and enjoy the nonsense. Oh! And I liked the movie graphics at the start of each chapter.

Entertaining look behind the scenes of Hollywood madness. Light, cozy mystery. Some surprises along with the typical hot cop, lovely protagonist relationship.

Movie Scrips and Madness by Melissa Baldwin a cosy and snug four-star read. This is my first read by this author and I will be honest I like the Cozy mystery genre but it’s not a favourite genre, but this was a really well written and funny example. Kendall Whitaker was a great character she just wanted to follow her dream and she is going to do anything to get there, including following the bright lights to Hollywood, but we all know the streets of Hollywood aren’t paved with streets of scripts but hard work. I loved how crazy it got when everything fell apart for Kendall, but I also loved how’s he ploughed on and kept going. Throw in a hot cop and you have the deal sealed for me, as well as some very funny stories. Well done on a great story Melissa Baldwin.

DNF @20%. I tried, I really did. But I just couldn't get into this one. Maybe it was just too cozy for me, but this was way too aw shucks gee whiz for my taste. I felt as though time had rewound and I was reading about the fifties; a small town girl with a can do attitude makes it in the big city! I'm sure that others will enjoy is book, but it wasn't my style.
