Reviews

Putman delivers a suspenseful and heart-wrenching story that truly comes to life along with its characters. Attention is instantly captured and held through the entire book. Stars in the Night will keep readers on the edge of their seats and turning pages as fast as possible.

“I am a huge fan of classic movies (okay, I’m more like obsessed), and thanks to Stars in the Night, Cara Putman has now made my must-read list. In fact, if I can dare to presume, I feel like we’re kindred spirits in a way – her inspired homage to the golden age of film nails every detail and story beat necessary to appeal to a fan of Turner Classic Movies like me.”

Ruth, reviewer

“This novel is a romantic thriller to capture the heart. It sticks in your mind like a tune that cannot be dislodged. It is well worth the price for an evening’s entertainment — a far better investment than a movie with popcorn at the theater. As with all page turning fiction, “Stars in the Night” will keep you on the edge of your seat from the prologue onward.”
Cass, reviewer

“Stars in the Night”, HOWEVER, fascinated me from front to back, and I’m not kidding. I have shelves and shelves of books on my TBR pile and only time to read when I go to bed. Usually I allow myself about a half hour a night for novel reading, but Ms. Putman’s book utterly hooked me so that I found myself staying up way past what’s normal for me just so I could finish it. I love classic movies and a good mystery, so this book perfectly suited me.”
Sharlene Maclaren, author

“The suspense is immediate, from the moment the book starts in the prologue. I had to keep reading to figure out who did it, though I had my suspicions early on. I wanted to see if I was right. Audra and Robert are realistic characters, hurting and flawed, though struggling to do what is right. If you like historical suspense, then don’t miss STARS IN THE NIGHT.”
Lollipops, reviewer

Author’s Notes for Stars in the Night

Stars in the Night was an idea that had begun to percolate in my mind. I’d written two World War II series and was actively looking for my next setting. My husband, a huge World War II history buff, and I were kicking ideas around, and I’d decided Hollywood was probably the next place for me. I’d gone to the library and gotten a stack of research books when I got the call. An editor I knew but had never worked with wanted to know if I might be interested in a new line they were starting. As we talked, I got so excited. And then she emailed me their guidelines, which listed that Hollywood was a location they were interested in setting books.

Only God could have known ahead of time. But because I followed His prompting I was ready to run with an idea. Stars in the Night is the result.
