Where has this author been all my reading life?

This book was, for me an amazing seductively almost flirty read that ‘had me’ on page 1 and kept me there until the ladt word

It’s a raucous read involving Elliott Gross who is an editor on a more than well known porn magazine who gets involved in mayhem and murder ( at one point 3 sets of people are trying to kill him ) and as such the subject matter does not shy away from the world he inhabits and yet it manages not to be all sordid or offensive but real and shockingly real at that but not nasty real if makes sense, almost camp in some ways and yet serious in others as ‘why do people love sex and porn?’ is discussed within the story as is the money it makes and also the lives it can ruin

We also have cults and overbearing detectives and a running joke about how to get lost in the hills of Beverley and all of it is a love/hate letter to L.A.

It is a complex yet easy to understand book and while Elliott is so so flawed he is also lovable and ingeniously maverick

A book to make you sit up for sure that sometimes gives you raw, sometimes romantic, othertimes scary reader jangles and jingles but in every way a more than fine, very different, edgy novel novel
