I've just read the first two noir books by Megan Abbott: Die a Little and The Song Is You.
These were really enjoyable--all 1950s Hollywood sleaze and corruption and layers upon layers of deception. In Die a Little, a woman becomes obsessed with uncovering the secrets of her glamorous new sister-in-law. The Song Is You deals with the unsolved case of Jean Spangler, who disappeared in Hollywood in 1949.
Now I'm starting Abbott's next: Queenpin.
