Druxy wrote a lovely review of the new book - perhaps some other dear readers who've just been sitting there like so much fish and not even going near it, will follow suit and read it
"In Bruce Kimmel's engaging new novel, MURDER AT THE SCHOOL MUSICAL, Adriana Hofstetter, the teenage sleuth of Hollywood High investigates the strange disappearance of an actress who is appearing in the school's production of THE MUSIC MAN. The cops are baffled, as is Adriana at first, but as she continues to interview the student cast of the musical and peruses the missing girl's Instagram site, she becomes convinced that the young actress is not a runaway, but possibly the victim of a unspeakable crime.
Adriana's patient mother, Margaret, her best friend, Billy, and detectives Ramirez and Coyne are back for this page-turning book, as is Patrick Bronstein, the elderly "B" movie producer whose every line evokes a laugh.
Like with the first four books of this series, Kimmel's witty writing style not only gives the reader a convincing view of high school life from the perspective of a teenager, but also a portrait of Hollywood today with a nod toward its nostalgic past."
