Dr. Mark Sloan is drawn to the sounds of gunfire at his neighbor’s Malibu beach house. There, he discovers the bullet-riddled bodies of an aspiring actress and a Hollywood producer.

I loved the show and am completely in love with the books. This is a typical set up and great reprise of Dr. Sloan and his cohorts. A must read if you loved the series. A great way to continue to enjoy the series now that the tv show is gone.

I love this series but this one was a real disappointment, probably not even a 3.

This book is unusual in we get a quick idea of who the killer is (due to an alibi that is too perfect), and we spend all the time trying to prove it. We even get a court scene, which I really enjoyed. Lots of good action at a sleazy motel too. And Mark Sloan does a good job in finally trapping the killer. A first rate mystery!

These Diagnosis Murder books are just as good as the TV series. My favorite so far was “The Death Merchant” (#2), but this one deserves 5 stars too. Even though Dr. Sloan was convinced from the beginning who the killer was, the book was full of suspense and even had a surprise ending. Also, the sub-plot turned out to be relevant to a memorable episode of the series. I thought the book did a good portrayal of the world of Hollywood and how it relates to the justice system. I was so sad when the series ended, and I am glad that Dr. Sloan is still solving murders!

This was a light, fun read, as were the past two in this series. The characters are so reminiscent of the TV series it’s like watching the show all over again. And, even if you are not familiar with the Diagnosis Murder TV show, you will appreciate the characters. The story is about a double murder that takes place in Hollywood and involves movies stars and, of course, Mark Sloan. The only thing I didn’t particularly like about this book was that we know who the murderer is immediately. Instead of trying to figure out whodunit, this is a `how did she do it’ mystery. There is no secret as to the murderer, and that kind of left me wishing for more. Still looking forward to many more in this series though – the mystery is lighthearted, and the characters are funny.
