Description
Solving their own murders is the least of their problems…and the beginning of Stone & Steele, a reluctant yet surprisingly skilled investigative team.
The Golden Age of Hollywood, 1938. Vivian Steele moved to California to start a new life. She opened a fashion boutique in Beverly Hills, befriended Carole Lombard, the actress, and married a successful banker. But when her husband is murdered, Vivian discovers she isn't the only one hiding a few secrets.
An anonymous phone call lures Vivian to a plush hotel room where she stumbles upon the dead body of a beautiful young actress – her husband’s mistress. To add fuel to the fire, she isn’t alone.
Preston Stone, Hollywood’s beloved playboy and Vivian's nemesis, is standing beside her. Suspiciously, they part ways only to find themselves alone again at a movie premiere two days later, and the message becomes brutally clear. They’re both the next targets of a cold-blooded killer.
Together, Vivian and Preston are thrown into a deadly race to find a missing collection of valuable coins and stop a vicious killer before they become the next murder victims. But first, they need to stop pointing their fingers at each other.
A Perilous Premiere is the first book in this exciting new 1930s murder mystery series starring a great cast of characters ranging from the rich and famous to Bella, a Boston Terrier, her new friend, Boris, a Saint Bernard, and a few other endearing folks. (A pretty clean read)

Stone and Stella and Boris and Bella are just delightful characters in this
entertaining story set in Los Angeles in 1930. Once you start to read
this book, you’re not going to put it down.

A Perilous Premiere is an entertaining mystery set in glamorous golden age Hollywood. The story was fast paced and held my interest!
The main characters Vivian Steele and Preston Stone work well together and generally respect the others abilities despite their rocky start. However both characters are hiding their true selves and backstories—hopefully more will be revealed in future books!
Dog lovers will appreciate Bella and Boris.
Fans of You Must Remember This may appreciate meeting Carole Lombard and Clark Gable as well as making connections to Louella Parsons and other stories from the podcast.

What a fun read!! Instantly engaging, and I enjoyed the characters right off the bat. Read it all in one day! As the owner of 4 dogs and 2 cats, all with very distinct personalities, I love how the pets were included in the story and would love to see more happy endings for pets! Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will definitely be reading other book by Gail Meath, and anticipating the rest in this series!
