McKee
A.C. Henley introduced Quinlan McKee to the lesbian reading public in 2005 and although A.C. is no longer with us, McKee is still enthralling readers.
Private Investigator Quinlan McKee has returned to Los Angeles after a three-year absence, only to find herself embroiled in a world of child slavery and police corruption. Chaos ensues as she finds an unlikely ally in a savvy police detective, Vivian Walsh, who lives by the letter of the law. Quin unwittingly becomes engulfed in the lives of new friends and old acquaintances during her journey through the seedier sides of two cities, Los Angeles and Chicago. Risking her sanity and her heart, she will search for the truth about a buried past and soon be pulled into a web of deceit and intrigue… putting everything she thought to be true in doubt. Quin searches for her happy ending where the lines blur between good and evil, friend and foe.

What a page turner !
This book combines everything I loved and present a small quandary.
It's one perfectly-written story, with great characters, and all of them, main, secondary, and minor are all greatly shaped.
What confuses me is : the book seems short, and the writing is so fluid it becomes a quick-read but at the same it packs a LOT!
So I guess it's like the perfect smoothie, great taste, full of colors, smells and vitamins, and finished way-too-quickly but at the end you feel really satiated.
Finishing it on my way to work is a great way to start the day ^^

Hump: 1st chapter our "heroine" catches a paedophile in an act with a castrated child, blows his testicles off, police arrive and let her walk away. So I did.

Slightly overindulgent on the sex side, it nevertheless is a very good crime story.

This is one of the best books I have read recently. It is one of those books you don't want to put it down and feel sorry when you get to the end. I would have loved to see more of McKee and Co in the future but unfortunately I know that's not possible...Despite it is a long book it is in my re-read list. You did a great job AC!

Left with no questions
I think this is the first time I am left with no questions at the end of the story. The characters and storyline seemed so real.
