Frames: A Valentino Mystery Audiobook

" Although I haven't liked every Loren Estleman I've read I loved this one. Film archivist becomes detective with aid of love interest! "

" Great fun, lots of wit, and a fascinating history of silent films. This is a very quick read, and extremely enjoyable. "

" I enjoyed this book but not as much as I thought I would. I guess I like his noir styled books better. This was a light read - good for the summer. I'd probably read another in this particular series if only to see how he develops the Valentino character. "

" Loved it--some of the best dialog I've read in a while. The main character is a film historian, and the book is certainly well researched--not often do you get a mystery with an extensive list of references at the end. What's not to love? "

" Fun for movie buffs, which I am! "

" I enjoyed this book, clearly a lot of research went into it. Just not as much fun as the Amos Walker series. Valentino is not as appealing... "

" In addition to the engaging mystery, I enjoyed the references to silent film history and film preservation. It made me feel like I was learning a bit while escaping reality. I look forward to more books with the film archivist/detective. "

" Valentino is a film archivist at UCLA. On a whim he buys an old theater and in the basement he discovers a full copy of the long lost film Greed and a skeleton. Valentino races to solve the mystery before the LAPD harms the film by holding it as evidence. A fun mystery. "

" i liked this book, not deep but i really liked the characters and the dialog. "

" A pleasant diversion, and a rare amateur sleuth that's actually somewhat plausible. "

" One of my favorite authors has a new mystery series 'starring' a UCLA film archivist -or as he likes to be called, "a film detective'. Fast paced, great character development and dialogue - exactly what I expect from Loren Estleman. "
