Bottom Feeders

A Novel

By: John Shepphird

Narrated by: Bronson Pinchot

An addictive whodunit set in the wilds of a remote movie ranch, Bottom Feeders describes the hapless Hollywood cast and crew that eke out a living working on low-budget fare.

Their ambitious TV-movie needs to be made fast and cheap, but a brutal murder grinds production to a halt. An approaching forest fire forces everyone to evacuate. In the confusion not everyone gets out. Eddie is the alcoholic director, Sheila the vulnerable camera assistant, Tom the self-centered actor, and Sondra the spurned sheriff's deputy. Who will survive?

Death comes sudden and silent. The camouflaged killer's weapon of choice is a high-tech hunting bow capable of firing razor-sharp arrows 400 feet per second. The mysterious assassin has an agenda. Those left behind must find out what it is and who is behind this bloody slaughter in the fight for their lives.

Aren’t we all bottom feeders?

Clever characters, anecdotes to old films, plenty of gore! Accurate portrayal of genre movie making! Talented author

Captivating and interesting!

You will get an insight into the people who make movies, and a peek into the not-so-glamorous side of Hollywood, the making of a low budget movie. The characters feel like people I've known . . . real people, who are working, acting and trying to stay alive, literally, as there is a murderer amongst them. This audiobook is read by Bronson Pinchot, who captures the characters beautifully. I recommend it, especially if you love movies. It's a great listen, as that's the way I absorbed it, but it would also be a great page turner.
