DEATH ON SUNSET by Barry Norman is the razor-sharp third and final novel in beloved BBC film critic Barry Norman’s hard-boiled Bobby Lennox series, a story the Birmingham Post says “positively glitters. Gorgeously entertaining.”

A novelist had a hit in the 70s leading to a huge payday & a splashy book launch. That book failed. He went to 80s Hollywood & wrote for a TV show. Cancelled after 2 seasons. He wrote for another show. Cancelled after 2 seasons. Movies & shows failed. In the 90s he went home & wrote Game of Thrones.

He casually refers to another woman as "breasty." Does that mean she has more than two? And is she also "benippled"??

I'm reading a manuscript in which the author describes a naked woman as "benippled." Interesting. Does that mean she is covered with them? Or simply that she has some?
