(2024)(The third book in the Brandy Martini series)
A novel by Montana Kane
Hollywood comes to Boomville, CO in the new humorous and action-packed Brandy Martini mystery thriller.
When a hot-shot Hollywood producer picks Boomville as the setting for his new movie, the entire town is affected, from the local weed dealer servicing a whole new clientele to the barflies auditioning for roles as extras. But a darker reality simmers beneath the shiny surface: the movie shoot has experienced one mishap after another and the violence is starting to escalate, going from expired dairy products to attempted murder. When Brandy is hired to investigate on the sly, she finds herself interacting with world-famous movie stars with inflated egos, lavish lifestyles and ridiculous demands; Hollywood’s hottest new director, fresh from the Cannes Film Festival with a Palme d’Or and a passionate vision Brandy finds hard to resist; and an entire cast and crew of possible suspects. In a last-ditch effort to catch the saboteur, Brandy flies to Los Angeles to follow a lead, only to find that more surprises are in store for her—some pleasant, some not so pleasant.
Meanwhile, Brandy's sister Annie thrives in yet another occupation she invents for herself; Brandy's dog Winston is up to new tricks; and Brandy's complicated relationship with Lieutenant John Pritzky develops in unexpected ways as the two are forced to work together to prevent tragedy on the film shoot in Boomville.
A humorous, sexy and suspenseful mystery thriller packed with action, verbal zingers and soulful interludes, featuring Brandy’s trademark musings and observations, many of Boomville’s usual suspects, and a handful of memorable guest stars.
