Synopsis

Blanche Tucker longs to escape her drop-dead dull life in tiny Boynton, Oklahoma. Then dashing Graham Peyton roars into town. Posing as a film producer, Graham convinces the ambitious but naive teenager to run away with him to a glamorous new life. Instead, Graham uses her as cruelly as a silent-picture villain. Yet by luck and by pluck, taking charge of her life, she makes it to Hollywood. Six years later, Blanche has transformed into the celebrated Bianca LaBelle, the reclusive star of a series of adventure films, and Peyton's remains are discovered on a Santa Monica beach. Is there a connection? With all of the twists and turns of a 1920s melodrama, The Wrong Girl follows the daring exploits of a girl who chases her dream from the farm to old Hollywood, all while showing just how risky—and rewarding—it can be to go off-script.

Goodreads review by Darla on November 02, 2019

A promising start to a historical mystery series set in Hollywood. The young heroine (Bianca) has a scrappy back story and has most certainly worked her way up in the studio circuit with a little help from an established queen of the screen (Alma Bolding). What does the dead body discovered on the P......more

I read a review of this on Kittling Books and was pleased to find it still offered on NetGalley. Since I've recently had a run of books that ended up in the DNF pile, it was nice to find a book that caught and held my interest. I haven't read any of the Alafair Tucker mysteries by Casey, but The Wro......more
