Why read it?
1 author picked The Devil's Playground as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Like the other two authors on this list, Russell’s novels have been a priority for me since I first discovered them.
While The Devil’s Playground is more of a cozy read than I’m used to, I’ve read enough of Russell’s novels to trust him and he always delivers. Intricately researched, The Devil’s Playground is set in Golden Age Hollywood and thanks to Russell’s skill as a wordsmith is rich in detail as the narrative hurtles the reader.
