Review "A racy and hard-to-put-down piece of neo-noir." -Washington Post"Sexy, twisted and dark, The Hurricane Blonde is both a gripping thriller and a scathing indictment of the industry of celebrity. Halley Sutton nails modern Hollywood Noir." -Janelle Brown, author of Ill Be You"The Hurricane Blonde is a stunning achievement. Sutton has managed to create a murder mystery that feels as magnetic, timeless, and inextricable from Hollywood legend as the Black Dahlia. And yet Hurricane is more than simply a tragedy about a beautiful woman on the silver screen who met a grisly end-its also, profoundly, a book about ruinous grief and letting go of the myths that have harmed us, as individuals and as a culture, no matter how glittering those myths may be. Theres no one better at writing the dark side of Hollywood than Halley Sutton."-Ashley Winstead, author of The Last Housewife"The Hurricane Blonde is a vivid, chilling noir steeped in L.A. sunshine and Hollywood lore. Sutton gives us a backstage pass to a former child actors investigation of her sisters death-revealing a world that is both ruthlessly cruel and dazzlingly irresistible." -Sara Sligar, author of Take Me Apart"The Hurricane Blonde is the biting, brilliant nepo baby noir you didnt know you needed. Halley Suttons sophomore thriller reads like a riveting true-crime tour with your smartest, most macabre friend, rendered with such evocative detail that youll feel California sun on your face and feminist rage in your heart with every turn of the page." -Layne Fargo, author of They Never Learn"The Hurricane Blonde is a splashy thrill ride through the dark side of Hollywood. Sutton has delivered a glitzy noir and a gripping crime story. Empowering, engaging, and a worthy addition to the Los Angeles canon." -Ivy Pochoda, author of These Women and Sing Her Down"Peopled with all the heroes and villains you think you know, this engrossing thriller captures LA in all her guises and packs a chilling message about the inherent victimhood of female stardom." -Eliza Jane Brazier, author of Girls and Their Horses"Suttons incisive writing captures both the allure and dark side of LA. A must-read for anyone drawn to Hollywood true crime." -Vera Kurian, author of Never Saw Me Coming Details ISBN0749030623 Author Halley Sutton Publisher Allison & Busby Year 2023 ISBN-13 9780749030629 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-08-08 Imprint Allison & Busby Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2023-08-08 UK Release Date 2023-08-08 ISBN-10 0749030623 Pages 384 Audience General DEWEY 813.6 Subtitle Brims with scandal and sordid secrets ... fascinating and shocking - The Times NZ Release Date 2023-11-06 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
