Detective Zach Jordan works for NYPD Red. A distinct branch of the NYPD that is in charge of cases involving the rich and famous He's about to het a new partner and a new case all in the same day. The new partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald is an old lover The new case comes at the start of Hollywood on the Hudson, where the L.A. elite come to examine movie making in New York City. So people in the T.V./movie business will be everywhere.
The Good News: NYPD Red will be busy.
The Bad News: They have a serial killer on their hands.

The first murder is at the Regency Hotel. A movie producer takes a nose dive into his breakfast plate. Not long after arriving on the scene, do they get a call for a murder at Silvercup Studios....and the day begins.

Will they find the killer before half of Hollywood is dead in NYC?

I'm a big James Patterson fan, and this book didn't have as much Umph to it that the Cross or Women's Murder Club books do.

Ivy’s latest gig is in The Sound of Cabaret, a mash up of The Sound of Music and Cabaret. She’s also housesitting, and one of her new neighbors dies in his garage. While it looks like a suicide, the man’s daughter hires Ivy and her uncle to find proof he was murdered. Can Ivy balance her first investigation with her new show? Is there even a killer to find?

I enjoyed the first book in this series a few months ago, and I enjoyed this one just as much. There are several sub-plots, and they do take the spotlight from the murder in the first half, but as the book progressed the murder was more center stage. Some of those sub-plots even wound up tying in to the main plot. The characters are a delightfully fun bunch, and they kept me engaged the entire way through. Sprinkle in a good dose of humor and you’ve got another great book.

Good murder mystery
So many puns
Gory (0 more)
So this book aims to be a comedy take on a murder mystery. This is achieved by making all the characters names (including the famous author Downton Tabby) puns on real life characters. So many puns in fact it would give Dad's a run for their money.
I spent a good half of the book just trying to figure out the logistics in my mind of how cats could ride motorcycles or have a profession like a Baker. After getting through that, it was time for the murders to start.
I will say, for a slapstick take on a murder mystery it was a lot more gory than I had predicted. So if you don't like descriptions of gore then this is not the book for you.
Although I read it to the end, it was more because I had gotten this far rather than enjoying it. It was good. I really enjoyed the puns scattered through the book but I didn't really enjoy the plot. However, it is an entertaining summer read.
