Heart Attack and Vine (Crush #2) 
Los Angeles bodyguard/bouncer Caleb Rush (Crush) is back in this second Crush novel. When Rachel Fury, a con-artist friend who'd vanished for a couple of years after a big scam, reappears in Hollywood under a new name as a glitzy movie star, she hires Crush as a bodyguard, and he quickly gets drawn into a criminal mess that requires all his brawn, skill, and savvy to negotiate. It's rich with Hollywood lore, New Orleans charm, snappy dialogue, fast-paced action, and noir atmosphere.

The first novel in the Crush series, titled Crush , was a Kirkus Best Mystery of 2015 and a Los Angeles Times “Summer Reading Page-Turner.”
Sutton has been an executive producer of Cheers, a writer/producer for such shows as Boston Legal and NewsRadio, a writer for Terriers, and the creator of several TV shows, including the cult hit Thanks. He is also the co-author, with Janet Evanovich, of two New York Times. bestsellers. Curious Minds. and Wicked Charms. His other novels include the romantic thriller 15 Minutes to Live.. Sutton lives with his family in South Pasadena, California.
Didn't read #1 but this is good enough to make me want to go back and read it. Pretty much a light, fast, fun read. Primarily set in LA with a side trip to New Orleans.
Two likable characters and lots of despicable ones. It was a fun, light read with a few interesting settings.

A fun book! Crush is moving on
Interesting characters, great dialogue, tight and suspenseful plot with touches of LA noir and movie glamour: a mix of ingredients that make for a entertaining read.
I liked this book a lot. Phoef Sutton knows his way around Los Angeles. He also knows his way around action and characters. I really enjoyed this almost-but-not-quite-light-hearted mystery/thriller. Main character Caleb Rush is a very human tough guy, and it's fun to hang out with him.I usually read late in the evening, just a chapter, then set the book aside and go to sleep. This is the first time in ages that I've gone on and on, reading chapter after chapter, because I cared and I wanted to
Lots better than anticipated. The author has a long background in tv writing and it shows. Like many fluff mysteries it starts with a bang and kind of peters out. But short and fun. Will probably read first in series, titled Crush.

So much potential to be a good book, but poorly delivered. The end of the book read like a synopsis that the author was too lazy to flush out. Characters could be likeable or intriguing but just werent developed properly.Didn't read #1 but this is good enough to make me want to go back and read it. Pretty much a light, fast, fun read. Primarily set in LA with a side trip to New Orleans.
