Like I enjoyed it. I started it so long ago that when it revealed the killer I didn't remember who he was so it wasn't that big of a twist. Lots of funny one liners trying way too hard to be noir. The way drug use is talked about is also hilarious. Also gay people, which is funny.

I'm waiting on a couple of books from the library - so decided to reread this delightful series (read them 10-15 years ago). I love the characters and story - not great literature but a solid light/quick read. A bit heavy handed in the gay/feminist departments (but maybe a little dated that way because I don't recall thinking that when I read it the first time). The main character is a smart, quirky PI who lives in Greenwich Village (with her partner - who's a therapist :) ) and spends nearly as much time deciding where to have dessert as solving the crime. As enjoyable the second time around as the first.

A mystery, all about shifting perceptions. Even more than Everything You Have is Mine, a good reminder of why I enjoyed these so much the first time around.
