I'm not even sure I liked it but it sure was intriguing. Blue McCarron is a social psychologist. She's also a mess. She's isolated herself in the desert and is dragged into a 5 year old murder. The writing of this story is complicated and often gets in the way but nearly as often is really interesting. ( ) Squee! Lesbian mystery novel about a social psychologist, Blue, hired by an accused murderess' brother to prove that she didn't do it. Blue *rocks*. Although her academic career was all about how the differences between men and women can be traced to primordial 'primate' behaviors (a notion I find politically repellant as well as theoretically unsound), she's funny, smart, engaging, cool -- and this book is populated by *wonderful* radical/lesbian feminists all over the place, and whee! (Her dog is shot at one point, but she does recover; read the book anyway.) I will say, however, that Blue shows a disturbing lack of common sense (it's one of those books where one practicially wants to scream at our plucky heroine to get out of there), as well as a complete (and surprising) lack of deductive abilities; the mystery won't faze anyone. Nonetheless, it's one of the most entertaining books I've read in ages. Highly recommended. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Blue McCarron has a Ph.D. in social psychology. She teaches and writes while living reclusively in an abandoned motel in the middle of the California desert with her Doberman, Bronte. A minister's kid, she has an imprisoned felon for a twin and a broken heart from grieving over her lost lover, Misha. When a body is found trussed up in a public freezer and widow Muffin Crandall claims she killed an intruder in self-defense and then did some dumb things, including freezing the corpse for five years, Muffin's brother Dan hires Blue to free his much older sister by analyzing her. It is apparent to Blue and forensic psychiatrist Rox that Muffin's story is a hoax. But who is Muffin protecting? Who wants her dead? And, maybe more important, will Blue ever resolve her love for Misha and love again? Complete with commentary by a Rastafarian Greek chorus in the form of ex-felon BB the Punk, the witty, suspenseful lesbian-detective thriller is hard to resist. This is the first Blue McCarron mystery by Agatha Award-winning author, Abigail Padgett. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
