A Jarrod Jarvis Father-Daughter Mystery- My Daughter Loves True Crime Podcasts

For fans of Benjamin Stevenson, Rob Osler, Nicolas DiDomizio, and Kristen Perrin, a true-crime obsessed 20-something and her dad - a former child actor - investigate an on-set murder amidst a cast of characters as flashy, trashy, and intriguing as the Hollywood we just can’t quit . . . From ’80s teen sitcom heartthrob to later fame after solving a string of real-life Hollywood murders, Jarrod Jarvis has rarely had a dull moment. But now in his late fifties, he’s happily settled into a quieter life in Palm Springs, taking the occasional bit role, and starting a new relationship with Secret Service agent Jim Stratton. Most of all, he has a newfound closeness with his 24-year-old daughter, Liv. A true-crime podcast devotee, Liv is thrilled when her favorite podcaster-crush, charismatic Beau Langley, announces he’ll be involved in a limited series about an infamous 1990s desert cult murder—filming in Palm Springs! Even better, Jarrod is offered a small role. Liv promptly plants herself nearby to soak up every scrap of production drama. But she’s not expecting art to literally imitate life . . . During shooting, the actress portraying the victim is found dead in her trailer—the crime scene eerily staged to mirror the real-life murder. The police deem it suicide. Jarrod and Liv disagree and are soon on the hunt for clues. Among their sprawling cast of suspects is a legendary producer who’s built a career on other people’s tragedies, a brilliant but controversial showrunner, a suspiciously jittery makeup artist, and an all-too-intense actor playing the cult leader. As accidents escalate and lies unravel, father and daughter must race to expose the truth—before they, too, end up on the cutting room floor . . .
