Bill Farley, the owner of my favorite bookshop, made me read this book because of the main character. Rune (and that's all the name she has) is a character you won't soon forget. She's delicious. A little bit street person, a little bit sophisticate, a little bit waif, a little bit in total control. She's amazing. She's trying to break into the film business and in the process collects dangerous evidence with her video camera. There is one other Rune book and I'm saving it for a special occasion. ( ) I enjoyed the book but the formatting in the Kindle format was not great. The story was very good, loved the main character, Rune. She's young, fearless, hungry and funny. Read this one first but will definitely go back and read the first book in this series. I love Jeffery Deaver and while he has grown as an author this was still a really good story even though it was one of his first efforts. From Publishers Weekly When a porno movie theater is blown up in Times Square, 21-year-old film production assistant Rune (no last name given) decides that this is the chance to realize her dream of making her own film. Using the bombing as a hook for a documentary on pornography, she interviews Shelly Lowe, a major porn star. Rune is just getting into the film when another explosion kills Shelly. Evidence points to a religious cult, but Rune teams up with a quirky bomb squad detective, Sam Healy, to discover the real murderer. Since Rune's method of operation is unorthodox (including breaking into offices and buying false IDs), Sam extricates her from some bizarre predicaments and then becomes her lover. Rune's pursuit of the killer takes her behind the scenes of legitimate theater and into the seamy world of pornography. She is an offbeat heroine with a mixture of spunk and naivete. Deaver (Manhattan Is My Beat) writes compellingly about New York 's sordid side, but his portrayal of Shelly as a gifted actress and aspiring playwright is hard to credit. Still, his fast-paced whodunit is saved by surprising twists near the end. Death of a Blue Movie Star is the second book in Jeffrey Deaver’s Rune series. Rune is living on a houseboat and working at becoming a film-maker. Following bomb attacks on adult theatres and studios, she decides to make a documentary about the life of a blue movie star. As usual, she gets involved in far more than she intends, including porn stars, the NYPD bomb squad, religious fanatics and leathergoods ads. Rune’s naiveté is truly entertaining. With an excellent plot twist at the end, this a great read Very readable, with lots of Deaver's plot twists and turns. This is set in the early 1980s and felt very dated. However Rune is an interesting character. It's quite gruesome in places and the plot holds together well. The problem is that terrible things happen to some of the characters along the way, and I'm not sure that I cared. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

But just hours after Rune films a poignant Shelly reflecting on her dreams of becoming a serious actress, a second bomb silences the beautiful film star forever. Was Shelly in the wrong place at the wrong timeâ??or was she the bomber's target all along? Rune vows to find out the truth behind the death of this blue movie star. But as she struggles to finish shooting her film, Rune's labor of love may be her final masterpieceâ??as a shooting of a more lethal kind threatens to write an ending to this story that no one wants to s Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
