The third novel from Eleni Kyriacou, author of BBC Between the Covers pick The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou.

Hollywood, 1954. At night, the nurses let us watch a film. Before we’re strapped to our beds and our screams turn to sleepy moans, movie stars fill the screen, and we’re allowed a moment of make believe.

Tonight, I see his name projected above the title on the opening credits. I know the actor on screen. Everyone knows him.

But I know him. I know that he likes his martinis strong and his women weak. I know that he owns the world yet is terrified of losing it. I know what happened at the party that night, after the Oscars.

And now it’s time to tell everyone what he did. But first, I need to get out.

A Beautiful Way to Die delves into the decadence and depravity of the early film industry from Hollywood to London. Perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and films like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Babylon.
