About the book:
Any day Audra might have been flattered by the friendly overtures of Robert Garfield, a real-life movie star. But on the flight from Indianapolis to Hollywood, Audra can think of little else than finding her missing sister. When Audra arrives in the city of glitz and glamour, and stars, and learns her rising starlet sister has been murdered, all thoughts of romance fly away.
Determined to bring the killer to justice, Audra takes a job with the second Hollywood Victory Caravan.
Together with Robert Garfield and other stars, she crisscrosses the southern United States in a campaign to sell war bonds. When two other women are found dead on the train, Audra knows the deaths are tied to that of her sister.
Could the killer be the man with whom she's falling in love?
My thoughts: If you enjoyed Songbird Under a German Moon you will like this book. They are similar in style and were both published by Summerside.

Hmmm... my favorite movie set in the '40s? Wow, there's so many! But one of my favorites is Since You Went Away.

Well, if I could choose a movie that was set in the 40's but wasn't in black and white, I'd choose The Magic of Ordinary Days. But I really like The Shop Around the Corner.

Can't believe I'm the first to make a comment on this fantastic giveaway.That's ok, today is my birthday, so being first is an honor! My favorite movie of the 40's with James Stewart and Donna Reed, "It's a Wonderful Life." I wasn't old enough to understand "Casablanca" yet. LOL I have been wanting to read "Stars in the Night" since I first heard and read about it. Thanks for this giveaway, Cara. I appreciate the chance to win this book, Michelle. I hope I do!
Blessings,

I thought I'd already posted on Michelle's site about this book. That's ok. It's my birthday, so I can do it again. This is a highly interesting book. I'm questioning who is who already, and I've not read it yet. Thanks for the giveaway and for the chance to win it. I hope I do.
Blessings,

1940's movie? Hmm, probably The Best Years of Our Lives. That was one of the best!

Oh, I love the film The More the Merrier with Joel McCrea and Jean Arthur. What a wonderful story with comedy, great script, and some hot kissing in one scene. :) I'd love to read this book.

Toss up between Holiday Inn and Easter Parade, both Fred Astaire movies. Only see the colorized versions these days.
Oh, I'm sure lots will pick Casablanca, but I'm going with Double Indemnity from 1944. Actually, as long as it's noir, I'll love it! Thanks for the chance to win STARS IN THE NIGHT - it sounds like a romantic and interesting story!

I can't name just one! LOL. We used to watch the OETA movie night movies, and I saw almost all of the old but still good movies. I honestly can't say that I have a favorite, they were all so good!
