The Devil You Know
The Devil You Know: A Mystery | P. J. Tracy
4 posts | 5 read
Darkness is nothing new to LAPD Detective Margaret Nolan, but in P.J. Tracys The Devil You Know, even she isnt prepared for the scandalous deception of deadly proportions that shakes the very foundation of Hollywood and its untouchables...and leaves her entangled in its rotten core. Los Angeles has many faces: the real LA where regular people live and work, the degenerate underbelly of any big city, and the rarefied world of wealth, power, and celebrity. LAPD Detective Margaret Nolans latest case plunges her into this insular realm of privilege, and gives her a glimpse of the decay behind the glitter. Beloved actor Evan Hobbes is found in the rubble of a Malibu rockslide, a day after a fake video ruins his career. Its not clear to Nolan if its an accident, a suicide, or a murder, and things get murkier as the investigation expands to his luminary friends and colleagues. Meanwhile, Hobbess agent is dealing with damage control, his psychotic boss, and a woman hes scorned.

The Devil You Know is the third novel in the Detective Margaret Nolan series, and I would not recommend reading this novel before reading the previous two. While I could follow a majority of the main story, there were a few side narratives that, not having read the other novels, I did not understand; there are continuing relationships and histories that are further built upon in The Devil You Know. I enjoyed the characters.

4th book in #MagnificantMay Readathon @Andrew65

3rd one in the Detective Margaret Nolan Series. They investigate a Hollywood Star's death that leads to more investigations. Sam has a decision to make for his future job wise.

I liked this one a lot. There is great character development from the first one. I hope to see some of these characters make future appearances.

OK, two books in a row with “Devil” in the title…hmmm, time to move on, I think. 😆 This is number 3 in the Detective Maggie Nolan series and my first to read, and even though I picked it up fairly quickly, I do feel like I would have gained insight into the characters/history by starting at the beginning. Maggie and her partner Al look into not one but FOUR murders within three days of the rich and powerful in the entertainment business in LA. 🔻

robinb Are they related? And if so, are there accomplices? Is there just one motive for all four deaths or multiple ones? There are sordid secrets/misdeeds, backstabbing and surprises here. My only distraction was switching back and forth between multiple characters (mains and second-tier) with most chapters…it was a bit disorienting and interrupted the flow at times. 🔻 1y
robinb Otherwise, it was absorbing and humorous too, and I enjoyed the read enough that I‘d like to go back to the beginning of the series. 4/5⭐️ 🔻 (edited) 1y
robinb Here‘s the first in series. 1y
