Death Of A Blue Movie Star (2000) - Plot & Excerpts

Jeffery Deaver- Death of a Blue Movie Star (Bantam Books 2000) 3.25 StarsRune almost gets blown up as a bomb destroys a porn theatre that she was walking by. Now she wants to make a film about it through the eyes of porn star Shelly Lowe. When a second bomb kills her star it leaves her questioning the true motives behind the bombings. Her investigation into the truth could be a lot more than she signed up for, as someone tries to put a stop to her hunt for the truth and her film. Can Rune find the answers before the truth destroys her?I did not find Death of a Blue Movie Star to be as good as the last Rune book I read, although I still enjoyed it. Rune is a very interesting character as she is so different from your usual book characters. Her curiosity always seems to lead her into tough jams that make for good storylines and different kinds of investigations that you don’t see in your typical mystery novel. I did find myself wishing that the plot would pick up the pace a little bit and maybe have a little bit more depth to the case than what there was. The ending came as a bit of a surprise, although I was looking for something more shocking, with a little more ‘wow!’ to it. As you can see I kind of have mixed feelings about this one so I won’t say recommend or not recommend, you can read the review and make up your own minds.For more of my reviews check out my website, www.tonypeters.webs.comTony PetersKids on a Case: The Case of the Ten Grand Kidnappinghttp://authortonypeters.blogspot.com/

Is the book full of twists? Sure, but even with it’s surprising series of events, the book was a bit mild for me and the dialogue and many of the action was just a bit dishonest. By Jeffery Deaver, Death of A Blue Movie Star, by Bantam Books, covers what happens when an aspiring filmmaker, Rune, decides to find out what’s going on between the bombings of a porn theater. The culprits become numerous and the suspects range from cults to deranged ex-porn stars. It’s a bit out there to say the least and well the ending really went well with me, it wasn’t enough for me to recommend this book. Strangely enough, there were quite a few typos that really broke the fluidity of the story. If you’re thinking about checking this book out, perhaps try another novel by Jeffery Deaver.

What do You think about Death Of A Blue Movie Star (2000)?

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.

Like with the first book of the series, the story was OK but I detested Rune, the main character. She's selfish, wilful, careless and stupid, thinks nothing of using anyone she meets in order to achieve her own ends - in this case to make a movie. She's indignant about the exploitation of porn stars, but sees nothing wrong in using the death of one to chase her own dreams. She exploits the good nature of Sam the bomb-disposal expert, even going through his briefcase in her single minded quest not for justice or the truth, but to get her film made. She's weird, pretending to be quirky, and immature, although she's supposed to be in her late 20s. She's prepared to date another man so he will finance her project, but is indignant when people like the police mistake her for a hooker. She screws up her employer's ad campaign, costing them hundreds of thousands, and is all "ah well, never mind"...I liked the twist at the end so it still gets 3 stars, but I won't be reading the last one and will stick to his later books.
