Hollywood mafia

The story moves at just the right speed to maintain suspense without feeling rushed. I wonder if this was a conscious choice to heighten tension throughout.

The city’s atmosphere really comes alive in the story, making it almost a character itself. I’m curious how much of the setting was drawn from Woods’ personal experiences or research.

The novel delves into the darker side of ambition, but I’d love to hear which aspects resonated or felt most thought-provoking for others.
