This book is about a detective and a serial killer. The kicker is both of them are women. There's sex, murder and beautiful women.

Pulp trash about a foul-mouthed but beautiful female cop and her Gucci partner trying to arrest a murderous psycho sexy nurse. Totally believable. No, really. I picked up this book in Kabul out of a donation pile sent to the troops by the American people because I needed something to read in the latrine. Which turned out to be the perfect setting. It's a good thing 80% of the Taliban are illiterate because if this book fell into their hands it would confirm every negative stereotype about America. I will admit that I read all of it though. It's going back in the pile today.

Hell's Belle
Author: Jane Holleman

I enjoyed this book but found it a bit hard to follow as the chapters changed to different characters and their perspectives, it wasn't clear whose voice or story we were hearing and she did this for 6-8 characters. It bothers me to read a few paragraphs or even a few pages until I figure out who's perspective the story is being told from.

I ran across this one by accident and thoroughly enjoyed it. A great, fun and irreverent character. I'm looking forward to reading Jane Holleman's other books.

This book was hard for me to get into.. But it was okay.

The mystery did keep me interested. However all the "intimacy"(to put it nicely) did not suit the character. Actually just one encounter.
