Compulsion

Toni Barston #3

by Terri Breneman

At first it seemed liked Toni Barston's lucky day.

During a routine interview with a murder suspect, prosecuting attorney Tony Barston stumbles onto a fabulous lead into an organized crime operation. Drugs, black marketeering and more - the opportunity to break the criminal enterprise once and for all is suddenly in Toni's capable hands.

Even after her car is torched as a warning, Toni is determined to bring all the major players to justice. But the woman who is now Toni's quarry wants what she wants - and what she wants is Toni. Taking no for an answer isn't in this woman's nature. And if she can't have Toni - then nobody can.

Reviews

[Neil Mudde · Rating 1 out of 5]

The story is interesting, what turns me off is the praise of guns. Off course a refelction of the state of mind within the US treating as a sacred right to bear arms. In this day and age with stories coming to us via the media, almost weekly, about several persons being mowed down by one of these awful weapons of destruction, one hardly needs to find a glowing description of a specific weapon describing how it works, and how one is superior over the other, to kill someone with a gun, and make sure a gun is used which will make it difficult to identify the perpetrator seems rather cruel to me. The story started off as rather interesting until it got to the gun part, and kept on praising the gun, that I simply stopped reading this.
As this is story includes lesbians, does this mean a lesbian needs to outdo a man hence the disregard for the value of life, use of guns etc?
