April 15, 2006: This book was sent to me by the author Henry Baum, to read and review...those of you looking for a fun summer read..here it is. North of Sunset has everything you need: romance, scandal, murder, mystery, contempt, happiness, fame and fortune. All these things combined into one story..the story of Michael Sennet, the man who has it all. Michael is famous in Hollywood..he's been in all the big movies and can't go anywhere without being recognized. He has a beautiful wife, a gorgeous home, a successful career and the devotion of most of the country, yet he's restless. When you've had, done and seen everything, where do you go from there? Add to the plot a serial killer someone who kills victims with vanity plates for semi religious reasons and several other characters who deepen the plot. The story is well told. It moves quickly and keeps your interest. The writing is simplistic and honest, no overly wordy mumbo jumbo. A good story all in all.
