When journalist Phil McGinty sneaks into The Marchmont Hotel to secure an interview with A-lister Oli Cromwell, she finds herself embroiled in a murder scene. Always one to sniff out a story, Phil launches her own investigation, while DS Jen Collet works to uncover the truth behind what happened in room 301.
As Phil navigates the seedier side of Aldhill-on-Sea, she must draw a line between her personal life and her journalism. But the closer she gets to the suspects, the closer she comes to discovering who killed Oli Cromwell.
Darkly comic and sharply observed, “A Star Is Dead” is a gripping tale of celebrity, small-town intrigue, and the desperate lengths some will go to for a story – or redemption.
