Jackie Collins

Jackie Collins has been called a “raunchy moralist” by the director Louis Malle and “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair. With over 500 million copies of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with thirty-two New York Times bestsellers to her credit, she is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. Six of her novels have been adapted for film or TV. Collins was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) by the Queen of England in 2013 for her services to literature and charity. When accepting the honor she said to the Queen, “Not bad for a school drop-out”—a revelation capturing her belief that both passion and determination can lead to big dreams coming true. She lived in Beverly Hills where she had a front-row seat to the lives she so accurately captured in her compulsive plotlines. She was a creative force, a trailblazer for women in fiction, and in her own words “a kick-ass writer!” Her fascinating life as a writer and icon is explored in the CNN Films and Netflix documentary Lady Boss: The Jackie Collins Story.

Reviews for L.A Connections

I love Lawrence Sanders! The politically incorrect Archy McNally gets a taste of his own medicine from Connie in this one. Maybe there's hope for the rogue yet. A really fun read, totally mindless. And Sanders always makes me so hungry!

For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like. I certainly do. A friend recommended the McNally series when I told her that I was in dire need of purely escapist reading, and it has filled the bill. This third episode starts off with Archie undertaking an investigation of someone's undesirable daughter-in-law-to-be, but soon evolves into a twisted tail of murder, mayhem and eventual heroics on Archie's part. Much of the fun in this series is observing the gradual unfolding of Archie's distinctly eccentric personality: this is NOT your usual PI hero. Archie is the son of a wealthy Palm Beach lawyer, but is not a lawyer himself, having been kicked out of Yale Law for streaking. Instead, he works as the "Discreet Enquiries" branch of Dad's law firm, said discreet enquiries involving the rich and respected of Palm Beach. He lives happily with Mum and Dad, untroubled by his lack of worldly success, and with no visible ambition to change anything. He loves the ladies, one in particular, but ends up following a maxim from "Finian's Rainbow" -- 'when I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near.' He loves food, and clothes, and his red Miata, and is a delight, particularly when he waxes a tad (only temporarily) melancholy.

Another sexy read form JC. Full of glamour glitz and murder.

Good dramatic (slightly trashy) novel, a sure bet distraction from everyday life
