I'm hoping this is the first of a Mason & Mann series because I'm going to need more of these Hollywood misfits solving crimes and getting justice! Ex-actress Julia Mann — sharp-witted, bad-tempered, and driven — teams up with Natasha Mason, her gig-working Gen Z sobriety sponsor, to solve the murder that she has been accused of. The murder of the former business partner of the husband she already went to prison for killing. And that's not even the messiest this gets! 

Perfect for readers who love flawed but fiercely resilient female protagonists, great found-family vibes, a unique odd-couple setup, a dazzling and messy Hollywood setting, Finlay Donovan, and cozy mysteries that don't shy away from on-page death.
