4.0

I was in the mood for a mystery and also in an old Hollywood mood so this was perfect. It was fast paced, exciting, intriguing and it had a great atmosphere to it.

The only reason it's 4 stars instead of five for me is that I found the dialog to be a bit fluffy and unnatural. Not really how real people talk to each other. And the romance felt a bit forced. I couldn't really feel the chemistry between the main characters, and the sex scene also felt forced and came out of left field. Overall, I think this story could have been written without a romantic subplot and it would have been just fine.
