Moon Over Old Hollywood is a sapphic romance combined with a murder mystery. It follows Nicole as she tries to investigate her ex-girlfriend and co-workers death, getting involved with a television series about queer women in the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Right from the start, the murder mystery side of the narrative felt rather shaky. We open on Patti's death, but the actual scene is glossed over, with Nicole just recounting her experience. This lead me to feel like I had no real reason to believe Patti was murdered, as there was no real impact moment where Nicole realised things didn't add up, we just got told they didn't. I decided to look past this and continue reading, though, as I wanted to see where this would lead.

Once Nicole arrives on the lot of the television series, it's almost like there's no longer a murder she's trying to solve. We go entire chapters with barely the slightest comment on the case, and all the focus is on the romance Nicole is having with one of the actresses. Having said that, I highly enjoyed the romance. It was a very sweet relationship and I enjoyed their interaction, I just wish the book had been exclusively a romance book. 

Overall, an enjoyable book, but the murder part of the plot felt a bit like an afterthought (possibly for shock value?).
