[Rogue Reader · Rating 4 out of 5]

Set in Vancouver in the late 80s - a well done, contemporary mystery with great characters and setting. A good-hearted lesbian hooker and her very proper legal secretary lover, a private investigator without a whole lot of resources and the underground porn film industry, clubs and drugs.

I’ll give her credit for a unique ending, but otherwise it was pretty terrible

[Catherine · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is a very 1980s-style social issues mystery, of the type that Barbara Wilson, Mary Wings, Sara Paretsky and others handled better. It's well-written, with an interesting setup but the characters, apart from the protagonist, never really light up the stage.

I kept waiting for this book to get better but alas it did not. Very disappointing.
