Do Tell by Lindsay Lynch is a debut that's so good you can't believe it's a debut!! She catapulted me into the Golden Era of Hollywood, exposing just how tarnished the system was beneath the glitz and glamour. Edie O'Dare is the kind of heroine that lingers in your mind long after you get to the final page. Bravo, Lindsay Lynch!!! I can't wait for your next novel!

Thanks to Doubleday and NetGalley for this terrific read. As a devotee of Parnassian Book's Laydown Diaries I was thrilled to hear that Lindsey had written a book. Who knew it would be so good? Gossip and scandal in old Hollywood with lots of inside dirt on her well drawn characters. It's a triumph.

I loved the Hollywood milieu in the thirties and forties and I feel this novel captures those times. The writing is snappy and propulsive and the characters are well drawn. The book started out better than it ended were I feel it got bogged down in me too and sexual orientation issues. Not to downplay the importance of these issues and how they were ignored in the early days of Hollywood but I like the show biz stuff more. An excellent writer. Look forward to her next book.

And that’s a wrap on Hollywood glamour! Oh Lindsay, how marvelous of a story you’ve created ❤️ and it’s just the beginning of your author career! 🤩🥹 I adored this book, and without giving too many spoilers, I can say that the thing I loved most about this book was the fallibility of our characters. It painted a picture of Old Hollywood that was harder to swallow, but was entirely accurate and called attention to a lot of the flaws in the industry. I think Lindsay did a great job making me think, and as a reader, I love when a book can really do that. It made me sit in some discomfort, and that’s exactly the point. I really hope you all find yourselves as engaged in the time period as I did, and can’t wait to see your reviews roll in! ❤️🤩

Actress turned gossip columnist Edith O'Dare knows all the secrets and is never afraid to tell readers about them. But when a young actresses tells her about being assaulted by a star, Edith is unsure who will believe the story. As much as she tries to help the actress the star goes on his merry way and continues his success in the movies. Edith makes it her goal to being him down, but subtly. A delightful look into Hollywood in the glamorous 30s and 40s.
