The Hurricane Blonde Summary

The Hurricane Blonde: Lose yourself in the glittering allure and dark underbelly of Hollywood by Halley Sutton

Hollywood loves a dead girl. She's always so photogenic. Salma Lowe understands better than anyone how Hollywood chews up and spits out starlets. She is the offspring of Hollywood royalty, a former child-star turned guide on a true crime bus tour and sister to Tawney, dubbed the 'Hurricane Blonde', who was murdered in the mid-'90s. The case remains unsolved. Then she discovers another dead woman with an uncanny resemblance to Tawney on the very property where her sister was killed. Salma has to face the fact that a killer has struck again and with the police investigation going nowhere, she needs to plunge herself back into Los Angeles' seductive allure to find the culprit. But the search for the truth will take her deep into the rotten heart of Hollywood past and present, and into her family's dark secrets.

The Hurricane Blonde Reviews

A racy and hard-to-put-down piece of neo-noir. -Washington Post


Sexy, twisted and dark, The Hurricane Blonde is both a gripping thriller and a scathing indictment of the industry of celebrity. Halley Sutton nails modern Hollywood Noir. -Janelle Brown, author of I'll Be You
The Hurricane Blonde is a stunning achievement. Sutton has managed to create a murder mystery that feels as magnetic, timeless, and inextricable from Hollywood legend as the Black Dahlia. And yet Hurricane is more than simply a tragedy about a beautiful woman on the silver screen who met a grisly end-it's also, profoundly, a book about ruinous grief and letting go of the myths that have harmed us, as individuals and as a culture, no matter how glittering those myths may be. There's no one better at writing the dark side of Hollywood than Halley Sutton.-Ashley Winstead, author of The Last Housewife


The Hurricane Blonde is a vivid, chilling noir steeped in L.A. sunshine and Hollywood lore. Sutton gives us a backstage pass to a former child actor's investigation of her sister's death-revealing a world that is both ruthlessly cruel and dazzlingly irresistible. -Sara Sligar, author of Take Me Apart


The Hurricane Blonde is the biting, brilliant nepo baby noir you didn't know you needed. Halley Sutton's sophomore thriller reads like a riveting true-crime tour with your smartest, most macabre friend, rendered with such evocative detail that you'll feel California sun on your face and feminist rage in your heart with every turn of the page. -Layne Fargo, author of They Never Learn


The Hurricane Blonde is a splashy thrill ride through the dark side of Hollywood. Sutton has delivered a glitzy noir and a gripping crime story. Empowering, engaging, and a worthy addition to the Los Angeles canon. -Ivy Pochoda, author of These Women and Sing Her Down


Peopled with all the heroes and villains you think you know, this engrossing thriller captures LA in all her guises and packs a chilling message about the inherent victimhood of female stardom. -Eliza Jane Brazier, author of Girls and Their Horses


Sutton's incisive writing captures both the allure and dark side of LA. A must-read for anyone drawn to Hollywood true crime. -Vera Kurian, author of Never Saw Me Coming
