Rating: Summary: Wow!! Review: I can't say enough about this book! I'll be first in line for the next one. A very human character, a great story, and enough loose ends to keep me coming back for more! Brava!!
Rating: Summary: Great story, but it left a few too many loose ends! Review: I thought The Intersection of Law and Desire was a great read. Both my partner and I found it addicting and almost impossible to put down! However, I found the ending left a lot of loose ends, I HOPE this means a sequel will come out and tie them all up! (As we will be sure to buy it!)
Rating: Summary: Excellent Reading, A Real Page Turner Review: I'm a die hard K Forrest who got turned onto J redmann by the women at Niad Press and I'm hooked, so hooked I contacted Ms. Redmann to find out how much longer we have to wait till the next M Knight book. At least she didn't hang up on me. All I can say is after reading some 30 or so recent books this was Simply the Best.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Reading, A Real Page Turner Review: This was the first book of this Genre (Lesbian Detective) that I have read. I found this book to be intriguing and engrossing with a plot that explores what I feel is becoming a serious problem in this day and age, the subject of child sexual abuse and child pornography.I found the character of Micky Knight to be delightful. Not what I was expecting from a hardcore detective. I was expecting her to be a hard drinking, heavy smoking, foul-mouthed type of PI. Definitley a surprise to find that she wasn't like this at all. Hardcore PI when necessary, yet, compassionate and intelligent. One thing in particular that I liked abou this book was the ability of Ms. Redmann to make the character of Micky Knight to be hardcore without the constant use of vulgar language. The few hardcore detective novels I have read in the past tend to use vulgar language to a point that almost every sentence contains some sort of explitive. Ms. Redmann does an outstanding job of keeping the reader fooled throughout the book. Many times I thought that I had it all figured out only to be surprised a few pages or chapters later. Ms. Redmanns ability to describe things is also a plus. Having traveled to New Orleans on numerous occasions, I found her descriptions of the French Quarter and the West bandk areas to be very vivid and accurate. Being the first book that I have read by Ms. Redmann, and not being one who reads a lot of hardcore detective stories, it would be very unfair of me to attempt to compare her to other authors. If you are looking for a detective novel that is different, but will keep you on your toes and guessing throughout, then this page turner is for you. Please don't judge it based on the grounds that the lead character is a Lesbian. I almost did and am now glad that I didn't. I plan on reading other books by Ms. Redmann.
