“I think there is a strong new voice in crime fiction and it comes from Eva Montealegre. I really liked Body On the Backlot. Montealegre knows the secret, the best crime novels are not only about how a cop works on a case, but how a case works on a cop. Detective Joan Lambert is a refreshing new character and I'd like to see more.”—Michael Connelly, author of the Harry Bosch Series“Detective Lambert bears little resemblance to Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Milhone or Robert B. Parker’s Sunny Randall. She’s rougher around the edges, lives in the gritty world of Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch, and suffers even greater angst than Connelly’s more famous LAPD detective. But give the lady time; Montealegre may equal Bosch’s popularity…"—Ken Fermoyle, The Topanga Messenger“Montealegre has crafted a gripping spell binder that draws the reader into the tale from the outset, holds reader interest and keeps the pages turning… Settings are nicely detailed to bring the reader right into the scene. Characters are fully developed. Joan is believable, the scoundrels are suitably ill-famed, the tale itself is well written by a novelist having a fine grasp of language, situation and stratagem.”—Molly Martin, Reviewer's Bookwatch"… Eva [Montealegre]'s Body on the Backlot, casts a bright light on L.A.'s dark side, where blind ambition rules and beauty is no more than skin deep. An absolute page-turner.—Kris Neri, Author of the Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Award-Nominated Tracy“Wow! Eva [Montealegre] has certainly hit one out of the ballpark… Highly recommended.”—Janie Franz, MyShelf.com
