Best of all, my two book blurbs arrived today - and without further ado - here they are and I couldn't be happier!
“Surviving and solving Murder at Hollywood High and Murder at the Grove
hasn't slowed down Kimmel's irrepressible teenage sleuth Adriana Hofstetter
a whit. Now she's back in arguably her most entertaining adventure,
searching for the murderer of a dedicated movieland preservationist. As with
the adorable Adriana's other amateur investigations, this one offers a
clever fairplay whodunit plot and an assortment of added delights for movie
fans, from a walking tour of Hollywood then and now to a hilarious
two-paragraph summation of the last fifty years of American film history
courtesy of a gloriously larger-than-life out-of-work producer. He's just
one of a gallery of memorable characters who, with the exception of a
vicious killer, wind up singing Hooray for Hofstetter.”

on the Morning Show
“Adriana Hofstetter is not your average teenager. Bucking all the popular trends and touchstones of her generation, she is out-of-step, out-of-touch, and out-of-fashion; even her dial-up computer is out of date. She's definitely not hanging with the cool kids.
But then how many cool kids solve mysteries with a skewed tenacity that puts Nancy Drew to shame? In this latest adventure, neither LA downpours, doubting detectives, or the onslaught of Christmas can stop Adriana from sticking her quirky nose into the secrets of an array of Hollywood oldies and oddities to ferret out foul play. All this is done with author Bruce Kimmel's usual witty panache that is a love letter to both Los Angeles and nerdy teenage misfits.”
