Dial H for Hitchcock (Cece Caruso Series #5)

Entertaining for fans but not a good choice for folks new to the series

I enjoyed this book as much as all the other Cece Caruso mysteries I've read but I don't think it would be the best choice for someone as a first Cece Caruso novel. Grab one of the others to meet her first before reading this one.

Hitch would be proud!

Will you be surprised. Good entertainment. Will make you want more.

The latest CeCe Caruso biography tale is a super amateur sleuth mystery

After completing Christie (see Christietown), in Los Angeles biographer CeCe Caruso is way behind her deadline for the definitive bio on Hitchcock having wasted time on a single person's honeymoon after kicking police Detective Peter Gambino to the curb. A fan of the late filmmaker, she sees Vertigo. However, leaving the theater CeCe somehow has someone else's cell phone so turns around to return it.

CeCe travels to Beechwood Canyon to return the cell phone to its owner Anita Colby. There she sees someone push the owner off a cliff reminding her of Vertigo. When the police discover a message CeCe left Anita on her answering machine, she becomes their suspect in the murder.

The latest CeCe Caruso biography tale is a super amateur sleuth tale that pays homage to the great director and his films throughout a taut investigation. Filled with jocularity, Susan Kandel keeps CeCe climbing into danger as she fears becoming a dead star in her own film without the accolades of one of the Hitchcock beauties. Fans of Hitchcock will relish Ms. Kandel's terrific tale of an innocent woman in a state of frenzy sought by a killer and the law (sounds so Hitchcockian).
