    About this ebook

    Hannah Doran is every tabloid’s dream: Hollywood pedigree (wild child of a charming and powerful producer and his cultured wife, who died mysteriously in her prime); best friends with entitled movie stars and celebutantes—and a loud, earth-shattering fall from grace when she was convicted of grand theft after a night of one-percenter excess.

    But that's not real—or at least not what Hannah claims is her real life. Hannah is smart, devoted… and, she maintains, innocent of the felony that landed her in prison.

    She's determined to make something positive of her life. But it's hard to break from her public image when everyone has a stake in her old role—her beguiling old cellmates, her ruthless father, a female studio exec with much to hide, and a gorgeous, ambitious photographer.

    In a town built on image, is success more compelling than the truth—and is true redemption even possible?

    “I love The Producer’s Daughter! The characters are fascinating and believable, the story is edgily surprising, and the read is deliciously addicting! It’s everything I expect from Lindsay Marcott at her best!" --Sarah Lovett, IndieBound bestselling co-author of Blowback

    "An exciting and engaging story from a Hollywood insider. You'll find yourself rooting for the good guys, booing the bad guys, and thanking your lucky stars the film industry hasn't come calling for you."--SJ Rozan, Edgar Award winning author of Ghost Hero

    "A glitzy tour of the entertainment biz... In the hands of this accomplished writer, Hannah's dark secrets make her human as her compelling story unfolds." --Nancy Martin, author of the Blackbird Sisters mystery series

    "Reminiscent of Elizabeth Little’s Dear Daughter, Lindsay Marcott’s The Producer’s Daughter offers a celebutante-style heroine you will root for through the landmines of new Hollywood.--Leslie Lehr, author of What A Mother Knows

      This mystery had a young woman - a poor, little rich girl - wrongly convicted of shoplifting and sentenced to twenty-two months in a correctional facility. Now she is out and trying to rebuild her life. Her father is a famous movie producer who is about to relaunch his most successful movie franchise with the son of the former lead actor in the starring role. Hannah decides she wants to find out how it is that she came to be convicted of shoplifting and becomes even more suspicious of her so-called "friends" when her ex-boyfriend confesses to drugging her before the shoplifting incident. It becomes clear that someone wants Hannah back in jail, or failing that, dead. Luckily she attracts the attention of former news correspondent turned paparazzi Mitch Arpino who decides that he believes her innocence and helps her. This story had murder, blackmail, organized crime and a wide variety of people who had lacks of conscience and me-first attitudes. We see Hannah discovering secrets that had been buried for her whole life and learning to see people around her in a new way.I thought the start was rather slow mainly because I couldn't connect with any of the characters. I thought Hannah was a spoiled society girl who was way to naive and trusting. I didn't like Mitch when he first appeared in the story as a paparazzi hot on the trail of the next great photo. And I couldn't stand Hannah's father who was willing to do anything to get his career restarted and his movie made. However, as the story continued I came to appreciate both Hannah and Mitch.Fans of the seedy side of movie making and the seedy side of Hollywood will enjoy this story.

      I seem to be the minority when it comes to this book. I have tried and tried and tried to read this book. The first time I made good progress but the next couple of times I only made it a few chapters at a time. After the second time of trying to read this book I did check out other readers thoughts about this book. So when I saw that most everyone else liked this book, I thought ok, I need to give it more time so I proceeded to read some more. It was by this third time that I could not read anymore. I could not get into the story or the characters. Plus, I did not find anything endearing about Hannah or her situation. Everything was unmemorable to me. I would easily forget the events that I just read. As I said before, I am the minority, so it seems that others really do like this book. So you may give it a chance and like it as well.

      The Producer's Daughter by Lindsay Marcott exposes the seamier side of Hollywood as Hannah Doran investigates the circumstances of her felony shoplifting conviction after she is released on parole.

      Years earlier, in an effort to get her famous producer father's attention, Hannah dropped out of Yale and joined the latest crop of celebrities acting badly. Her public fights with friends, out of control shopping and drunken behavior garnered his notice, but their relationship remained strained. In the present, her release from prison coincides with his plans to re-make the blockbuster hit that made him famous and he has little time for his daughter. Determined not to fall back into her old habits, Hannah is trying to rebuild her life while at the same time trying to reconnect with her father and find out what really happened on the day of her arrest. Not everyone is happy about her return and when Hannah refuses to stop digging for answers, someone is willing to go to any lengths to stop her before the shocking truth is revealed.

      In the beginning, it is difficult to muster up much sympathy for Hannah. Wealthy and privileged, her behavior before her arrest is just the same as any other spoiled celebutante vying for attention. But her time in prison changed her for the better and she is much more grounded in reality upon her release. However, Hannah remains a little too naive and trusting which ultimately puts her in very dangerous situation. She is also very eager to repair her relationship with her father but he continues to put business before family.

      While Hannah's release from prison goes mostly unnoticed, paparazzi photographer Mitch Arpino is hot on her heels. A former photojournalist trying to get his career back on track, he will do just about anything to snap the celebrity photo that is guaranteed to sell for a fortune. While he initially seems a little sleazy and opportunistic, Mitch shows compassion for Hannah's plight and the two eventually join forces to figure out who is behind the efforts to silence her.

      Blackmail. Greed. Corruption. Murder. Scandal. All of the perfect ingredients for an intriguing mystery and in The Producer's Daughter, Lindsay Marcott masterfully blends them into a riveting read that is impossible to put down. With plenty of unexpected plot twists, surprising alliances and a plethora of shocking secrets, this enthralling whodunit is sure to be a hit with fans of the genre.
