Lost Hills is the first book in Lee Goldberg's Eve Ronin series. Movieland was his latest and the first of that series that I read. I was so blown away by Lee's latest, that I have decided to read the entire series.
Lost Hills does not disappoint, it's not so much of a "who done it" as much as a connecting the dots. Goldberg does an excellent job of establishing the characters. Eve Ronin is a detective for the Los Angeles County Sherriff's Department. She is caught on video in a single-handed arrest of a popular movie star. Because the video went viral, the department, which is facing a public relations nightmare from an ongoing scandal, promotes her to robbery-homicide. This is a coveted position in the department and her fellow cops believe she is well out of her league, but not her.
After a horrific crime, too grisly to mention, Eve becomes part of the investigation and tries to prove that she can play with the big boys and girls.
Just like Movieland, there is great imagery and character development. You can find Lost Hills by clicking here.
