Description
Clara was Hollywood’s hottest rising star, until someone murdered her on the Paramount lot.
I went to claim her body. The producers offered me a job instead.
Clara and I may have looked like twins, but we’re nothing alike. She loved being splashed across the silver screen and the gossip pages, dating co-stars and gangsters.
I’m just a broke student with a knack for languages.
I took the job, but not because I care about finishing the film.
I want to know what happened to my sister.
I’m surrounded by jealous actresses, crazed fans, and ruthless directors. The only person I can trust is an off-duty detective who may be more distracting than helpful.
I only have two weeks before the movie wraps. And I may be working right next to a killer…
The Lark Notes:
Two of my favorite films are "La La Land" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" because they show how Hollywood can be a world unto itself, with its own history and culture. We all consume movies created there, without really understanding what it means to live and work in that space. I thought it would be fascinating to throw an outsider into that hotbed of glamor and sin, with the imperative of unearthing a secret that everyone else wants to keep buried… – Sophie
"Starlet" is a Romantic Mystery set in Hollywood’s Golden Age, right at the cusp of the Second World War. It includes both fictional and real-life characters like Clark Gable and Cecil B. DeMille. This standalone novel includes steamy scenes for mature readers only.

3,5 stars At this point, I need to say Sophie lark never disappoints with her writing style!+ You need to be aware that Starlet is different from her other books and doesn't contain as much romance but it does contain other interesting and different aspects: murder mystery x hollywood star romance. To be honest, for me it was very exciting to keep guessing and questioning the characters (at this point, thank you so much sophie for listening to all my thoughts, ily). Alice is a young and not so successful woman, like her sister Clara. Nevertheless, both sisters have a deep bond with each other and would do anything for the other one. While Clara works in the Hollywood industry, Alice has chosen a quieter job. Both sisters seem to be the quite opposite from each other, but that doesnt mean that they dont have a bond. You can clearly see the bond between the two sisters, it is very strong and good until one day Alice finds out that her sister has been k!lled. Because of this shocking news, she then sets off to Los Angeles to solve the mystery. Whether she solves it and finds the culprit or uncovers other secrets is a good question. Should some secrets better remain secrets or not? That is the question you should ask yourself
