"...a certain queasy archetype..."

Some people know Mary McNamara's work from her novel Oscar Season but Mary is also the television critic for The Los Angeles Times. Her ability to get to the heart of television shows and what they tell us about celebrity, media and pop culture in general, sets her apart as as a reporter and a writer--and one of the things that makes Oscar Season more than just a Hollywood novel.

Oscar Season Now In Trade Paperback $14.00

The classic mystery novel and today’s paparazzi coincide in this engaging, insider’s look at Hollywood in the weeks leading up to the Academy Awards.

She is one of the very few reporters allowed to witness pre-telecast rehearsals and for years has covered Oscar night from the celebrity side of the red carpet and backstage during the show.

A recent recipient of an L.A. Press Club and American Association of Features Editors Awards for her industry coverage, she has interviewed innumerable stars and directors, and used her experience to craft this deliciously entertaining whodunit.

Wide audience: This novel will fascinate the many readers captivated by Hollywood and the celebrity lifestyle, while also appealing to mystery devotees and fans of smart, entertaining women’s fiction. It’s equal parts Jackie Collins, Michael Tolkin, and Sue Grafton.
