Bombshell by Stuart Woods

 Set in Hollywood, Retired CIA agent turned Movie producer, Teddy Fay, has a mobster looking to gun him down. At the same time, jealousy rears its head between two starlets who are vying for the Academy Award for Best Actress. He must move carefully if he hopes to avoid a bullet or a vixen’s bite.

Although there are many moving parts in this story with a lot of suspense and action, I was unable to warm up to the hero. The only thing this hero was missing was a red cape. He could do no wrong. No matter the odds, he finds the enemy and puts them down with little sweat. The story felt like an old black and white mystery movie, but in modern times. 

I had heard and seen this author in the past but had never had the opportunity to read him. I’m not sure I’ll be visiting him again.
