See all formats and editions
She’s a Hollywood reporter with a glamorous assignment that turns deadly: solve a famous cold-case mystery. It’s all fun with movie stars... until the killer reawakens, and targets her!

A magazine hires offbeat journalist Kenny Rubin to figure out who killed actress Melinda Rivers five years ago. And she’s supposed to do it before the airing of a new movie about the murder.

Many of the people involved in the filming knew Melinda, and one might be the actual killer. As Kenny investigates, people start dying around her, and her bipolar disorder messes with her perceptions. Can she identify the culprit before she plays right into his hands? And what about the dangerously handsome actor who might have a thing for Kenny?

Alreaders.com said: “The story line is fast-paced … a wonderful Hollywood mystery.” Jacqueline Diamond, the USA Today bestselling author of the Safe Harbor Medical Mysteries and A Cat’s Garden of Secrets, is a former Associated Press news and entertainment reporter in Los Angeles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected Pleasure
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2012
Verified Purchase
This mystery is firmly plotted along the lines of the innumerable Post-Feminist Lady in Distress sub-genre. It has the young woman amateur sleuth, the "hot" guy whom she wants to bed, the police guy who wants to bed her and who has his appeal for her, the best friend, the exploration of her needs, & etc., etc. What this book has, that so many of its sisters do not have, is a skilled writer who knows how to put words and sentences down on paper (figuratively speaking) and knows how to give her characters life within the narrow confines of what must be a relatively short and easily accessible novel. I was initially concerned at her including in her heroines personality, a truly terrible disease, what was until very recently called manic depressive behavior, now termed bipolar disorder; however, as the book progressed, she handled it well. There are some weaknesses to be mentioned: she shares the common deficiency of most writers in the sub-genre of failing firmly to embed her heroines crime solutions in available facts logically organized, there is an undue emphasis on happy or unhappy chance events, some of the characters are straw-"persons", etc. None of these characteristics weighed much against the book on my scale of pleasure. At these prices (at the moment 99 cents) it is a good bet for those with an affection for this type of book.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Danger Music" Hits All the Right Notes
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2012
Verified Purchase
"Danger Music" is a mystery novel by a writer who works in several genres and whose stories I enjoy very much.

Here, a TV movie is being produced to dramatize--and propose a possible solution to--the unsolved murder of an actress five years earlier. Kenny Rubin is a free-lance investigative journalist working on an assignment to come to her own conclusion regarding the murder. At first on the fringes and then increasingly involved, she finds her own life in danger.

Kenny is narrator of the events, and the author deftly handles the first-person narrative to make this an appealing character: resourceful and intelligent as well as caring and insightful. Los Angeles and the entertainment industry provide the backdrop, but this is not a "noir" novel. As in many of her works, the author conveys a "sense of life" that is upbeat and positive. Those characters who are engaged in life and trying to do the right thing are portrayed with warmth.

This is a satisfying book that could serve as an introduction to a very, very good writer. The plot is well constructed, the story moves briskly, and there is a suspenseful climax. There is also humor and many a wry turn of phrase.

5.0 out of 5 stars A quirky, fun mystery set in LA
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2011

Set in LA, there are hints of LA Confidential along with a quirky heroine and a solid mystery. "Kenny" Rubin (the name is short for a name she hates) is a woman in a tough town. She also writes for a magazine that's about to fold, and she's covering a five-year-old mystery. Trouble crops up when secrets that should stay buried start to shed new light on the cold case and soon Kenny is up to her neck in bodies and trouble. To make matters worse, Kenny suffers from bio-polar, and when she's flying high she's not always seeing straight. When she's down, she's in very dark places.

The story deals with bio-polar in a very realistic way--if you've ever had a friend with manic depression you'll recognize her. Kenny is both a great narrator and also manages to solve the case before too many people are murdered. Add to the cast a TV-hunk who is trying to revive his career -- and who takes a personal interest in Kenny -- a struggling starlet who tries to be more than shallow, and a once great actress who has faded and you have a great cast of characters.

The book starts a little slow, but once it takes off it's a fast-paced read.

5.0 out of 5 stars hard-boiled Hollywood murder mystery with a heart
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2011

This fast paced mystery delivers and kept me guessing till the end. I especially loved the scenes where Kenny is going through her manic phases: sheer poetry. After reading the book, I was not only entertained, but felt more knowledgeable about what it would be like to have manic-depression.

I also liked the Hollywood setting, and found it more informative than any movie studio tour. I enjoyed all the details about actors barely eking out a living, and what really goes on with the news media. There's a scene with a ladder that made me laugh out loud, and am still smiling a day later.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Character-Driven Cozy Mystery
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2013
DANGER MUSIC is a fun mystery filled with diverse and interesting characters. The characters make the story, and Diamond skillfully develops each personality.

The protagonist is an amateur sleuth who somehow finds herself more involved than intended. As she delves deeper into the mystery, the main character battles her own set of problems. Her personal struggles give this story a unique slant. Her issues were foreign to me personally, but I found it easy to sympathize with her.

DANGER MUSIC kept me entertained from beginning to end. This story will likely appeal to those who enjoy a good character-driven cozy mystery.

Review disclosure: I received a free ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

Danger Music is a mystery which keeps you guessing right up to the last minute. Hyman calls on her background knowledge of the entertainment industry to create a novel of suspense and intrigue with a romantic element as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Danger Music... into the Beat of a Whodunit
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2022
Danger Music is a mystery uncovering the rhythms inside the mind of a bipolar disorder free- lance writer Kenny Rubin who is on assignment to solve the five year old murder of actress Melinda Rivers. Kenny's quirky personality rings through Jackie's words in a fast paced mania read that turns into a California June-Gloom depression as Kenny gets help for her illness. The evidence and list of suspects grows as Kenny's cycle of mania and depression takes her to the killer. When the killer is found, Jackie gives the reader a sigh of relief in comedic moments that make you laugh out loud bringing you into your own reality and making you want to hurry back into Kenny's world. When will there be a Danger Music Two? We await the possibilities. Thank you Jackie for entertaining us with your mystery! D.A. Lombardi
