Boy Who Never Grew Up, The by David Handler

Matthew Wax, Hollywood’s hottest direct at just 38, simultaneously churns out blockbuster hit after blockbuster hit at his studio, Bedford Falls, but he doesn’t have the social skills or confidence of your average high-schooler. Unlike in It’s a Wonderful Life, there doesn’t seem to be a way for a happy ending. Or is there?Enter Stewart Hoag - dapper, erudite, debonair, and a first-class smart-aleck - who has taken on the assignment of helping Wax write his autobiography - one to compete with the tell-all that pretty Penny is writing.

The funniest sleuth around, Hoagy knows that quick wit can overcome any obstacle-even murder.

I discovered David Handler by winning his latest book of the Stewart Hoag series at Goodreads, and then had to get all the other books that came before. It had plenty of mystery and drama, dry sense of humor and even a touch of romance and most importantly a good storyline and great characters, I might just be a bit partial to Lulu. When Zorch and his boy toy turn up dead, Hoagy takes on the additional task of unraveling who amongst the many people who had reason to hate Zorch actually pulled the trigger - all the while wise-cracking with the best of 'em in this intelligent and humorous cozy. Readers will adore Hoagy's sophisticate humor and sardonic wit. In addition, author David Handler delivers an incredible denouement that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Handler (The Boy Who Never Grew Up, LJ 9/1/92) presents celebrity ghostwriter Steward Hoag who, on hand to author a book about television comic Lyle Hudnut, finds himself in the midst of mayhem and murder after Lyle's arrest in a porno movie theater. Stewart's dog, Lulu, and his ex-wife, actress Merilee, complicate matters. David Handler is so good at writing one smart, funny page-turner after another that he makes it look easy. Fans of JANET EVANOVICH and CARL HIAASEN, get ready.

This time, celebrity ghostwriter Stewart "Hoagy" Hoag is caught in the middle of the biggest, ugliest divorce war in Hollywood history. The tabloids are calling it the House of Wax. The public can't get enough of it. In one corner is Matthew Wax, reclusive millionaire director of five out of the top ten blockbusters in movie history. All the books in the Stuart Hoag series are great reads, but this one was the best so far. There are not one, but two surprise endings and you won't know who the killer is until the final pages-I was totally wrong the entire time, and that doesn't happen very often! The story is about Stuart Hoage, a ghostwriter who has been hired to write the official biography for the wunderkind director, Matthew Wax, as a PR stunt to slant publicity in his favor as he battles in divorce court against his wife for control of his studio and custody of his baby son.

To tell Wax’s side of the story, Hoagy and his basset hound Lulu have to get closer to the boy wonder than anyone ever has. The true story of the man behind America’s most family-friendly films is even darker than the press suspects, and people will die to keep it hidden from view. On the way to a brisk finale, Handler sharply skewers and spoofs La-La Land until Hoagy can at last quip his way back home again.
