A missing girl.
A lost father.
Murder. Mayhem. Tattoos.
Just another day in Venice Beach.

Where The Sun Don't Shine is the story of Marley, a once successful Hollywood player who's tumbled so far down the ladder of success that he’s got almost nothing left. Just a one room apartment on Venice Beach and a fragile relationship with his 16 year old daughter.

Marley’s at the end of his rope when he gets a phone call from an old producing partner who wants to throw Marley some work. Which sounds great until Marley realizes that the “work” is tracking down a missing actress. An actress who may or may not be dead. Every instinct Marley has tells him to walk away. But the lure of easy money is the single thing that everyone in Hollywood has in common.

Marley finds himself thrust into the back alleys of the film industry. Into a nexus of porn, kidnapping, studio politics and the dream-dead denizens of modern Hollywood. Struggling to do the right thing, and to be a father to his daughter, Marley soon finds that everything is at stake: His future, his daughter, even his life…

This book will not appeal to everyone who thinks they like murder stories. Based on various reviews I've seen, many don't like to see violence or sex in their stories and, to these people may I suggest you look elsewhere for a cheap read. There is sex. There is violence. There is even some depravity in play. Nothing is portrayed in particularly lurid fashion, but these elements are thoroughly entwined in the story.

For me, the story idea was pretty good, the writing a bit better than pretty good & the characters interesting, if mostly unlikeable. Of course we know going in that our "hero" is seriously flawed, a loser himself, guilty of previous bad choices that have him in the position his life has taken, so we should go into the reading understanding that. The story that plays out, then, should come as little surprise. The bad guy is really bad. The not so good, not so bad guys & girls are mostly sleazy.

This is not a story with a feel good, warm & fuzzy ending. In fact, it's a little disturbing. It's not a cautionary tale. It doesn't offer any redeaming feaures that might offer a glimmer of hope for the hero or any of the other characters. It's just a pretty good slice of life story about someone, at the end of the day, you don't have to care about, somewhat like driving by a car accident on the highway.

Well written crime story set on the darker side of Venice Beach as Marley searches for a missing starlet. Lively dialogue and a vivid picture of wheeler dealing on the edge of the film industry contrasts with horrifying violence. For me, the book lingers too long on the torments of the two female victims. By the end they are completely dehumanised.
I enjoyed parts of this book, but the sadism is not for me.

I'll let other reviewers summarize for you, this is the first time I've reviewed anything and I don't want to take up too much of your or my time. I was moved to review this as I feel a treasure like this may be lost if people don't hear how great it is. What I liked about it was the effortless, Chandler like descriptions and perspective. It has a real sense of humor running through the whole thing which I believe is sorely missing from others in this category. I loved the deep flaws in Marley and his awareness of them and his style of self-depricating humor he uses to deal with the spot he put himself in. Another quality I liked was the Henning Mankell like way that I felt at times like Marley was totally lost and I didn't know what I would do in his place. Also Mankell like was the cutting back and forth between protagonist and antagonist and how the bad guys plan was not revealed until almost the end and it was completely believably built so I could follow it to a dark, dark place. Marley's relationships with his daughter and ex-wife are also well written. You just feel for the guy and what he's reduced to in the attempt to have any love or meaning in his life. Others have written about the Hollywood element and I can tell you his perspective is fresh and informed. It really feels like the petty humiliations and absurd power structure of a ridiculous town are well and painfully portrayed. All-in-all a great deep, funny, scary, engrossing tale well told! Three bucks ,come on! This review was written by Diedrich Bader, Dulcy's husband. I'm informing you of this because my wife loved it too and wants to write her own review.
