Murder in Hollywood is the second book in the Opal Laplume Mystery series by Millicent Binks.

Opal has a millinery job with a Hollywood movie, but when she arrives late, finds the job is no longer hers. She makes the best of the situation and is able to find another job on the set. She also discovered her friend Augusto (from book 1) is in town. When the movie's lead actress is killed and Augusto is suspected, Opal uses her keen observation skills to seek out the actual murderer.

This book continues the great cozy mystery vibes of the first book. Fun characters, great setting, and a clever mystery!

(While I enjoyed the story, I was a bit perplexed by the historical content. The story takes place in the United States in 1930, and yet there is zero mention of Prohibition, despite there being alcohol in the story.)
