Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

Among the moss-covered trees and wrought-iron balustrades of southern Louisiana, Detective Michele Knight (Micky to her friends) takes on the seemingly simple job of shooting a few photos for a client, but the going gets rough as Micky finds herself slugging through thugs and slogging through swamps in an attempt to expose a dangerous drug ring. The trail leads to the Hundred Oaks Plantation, a transvestite named Eddie, a beautiful doctor named Cordelia, and memories Micky thought she had buried twenty years ago.

Hard-hitting prose in the style of Sam Spade and Mike Hammer with a lesbian twist.

Love this book! Re-reading it because we're featuring it on episode 18 of Cocktail Hour.

Not bad. I liked Hutch and Millie, and Barbara and her kids/mom. I'm not sure how I feel about Micky and her posse yet.

The story started out slowly and a couple of times at the very beginning I debated whether or not to put it down (I have Watchmen and The Blood Books, Vol 2 waiting for me, among other things), but I stuck with it, and it did not so much get better but get more fluid and start to fit together a bit tighter.

Will I read the next in the series right away, probably not, but the rest of the series is definitely on my to be read list ( )

This is a very good book. A romping good adventure (with a few stretches of credibility). And a good love story. Hope to see more of Torbin. ( )

Another terrific Mickey Knight adventure. I enjoyed the plot of "Jocasta" a bit better, but this was still a full, satisfying read. That is what makes the books so good - they have a meaty plot and substance. Too many 'tec stories rely a bit much on coincidence and thin plots. ( )
