It is just boring unfunny rambling about nothing. How did this book get published? ( ) The author just tries too hard. There was something off-putting about the humor. And the tone was rather uneven. The book was OK, but just OK. Nothing to write home about. I really disliked the main character's neediness. I know it was part of the plot, but why do women feel as though they have to have a man, any man, to be happy. But then there wouldn't have been a lot. So ... Its been a long time since I've read a book cover to cover in under 2 days. In a handful of hours I pretty much gobbled this book up. At first I was weary, how good could a book by someone named Sparkle Hayter really be? I envisioned a shallow book told from the perspective of a 13 year old boy-crazy, glitter heavy brat. So much for judging a book by its cover. I was delightfully surprised with this comic mystery about a Special Reports newswoman in her late 30s. Her name is Robin Hudson, with an attitude as red hot as her hair. She lives in an apartment on a rather sketchy street in New York, armed with poison ivy plants and a hot glue gun for protection. Her only room mate is her cat, Louise Bryant, whose claim to fame is larger than her own. She has to keep her sharp tongue and quick wit in check when dealing with the yuppies she must impress in the workplace. Will she discover the connection between the murder of her almost gynecologist and a ring of S&M fetishists before Aunt Maureen holds a exorcism in her honor? A fast paced, rather easy read with humor. Excellent summer reading. Will be keeping in my personal library for the time being.
...Though Sparkle Hayter won a major mystery award for her first Robin Hudson novel, the initially promising whodunit Nice Girls Finish Last is solved with a thud. Nevertheless, Hayter (a former CNN journalist and stand-up comic) offers a hilarious, keenly written romp across the gender divide, downtown Manhattan's alternative scenes, and the frenetic world of TV news. Prix et récompenses
Reporter Robin Hudson gets the scoop on a DOA OB/GYN in this "hilarious, keenly written romp" from the author of What's a Girl Gotta Do? (Entertainment Weekly). A nice girl like Robin Hudson never expected to find herself at an S&M club, but as a third-string reporter for a tabloid TV news show, she must pursue all the sleazy leads her jerk boss hurls her way with a smile on her face--at least on camera. But this time the story hits close to home. Robin's always thought a person has to be a little sadistic to become a gynecologist, but when her new OB/GYN is shot through the heart and handcuffed to his office chair, a matchbook from an S&M establishment is the only clue. Much to the delight of Robin's muckraking boss, the not-so-good doctor had his hands in all sorts of sordid activities. But Robin, on the other hand, is having a hard time whipping up any enthusiasm to interview the dominatrix who runs the club. It's also the worst time for her Bible-toting Aunt Mo to visit New York City--aka Sodom and Gomorrah--to set Robin on the straight and narrow. Aunt Mo is convinced the streets aren't safe--and maybe she's right. A sniper is taking potshots at anxious All News Network anchormen, and it's starting to look like the target practice is connected to the dead doc. Now, it's up to Robin to dodge the bullets--not to mention Aunt Mo--and get the killer in her sights. And then she needs to find a new gynecologist! Nice Girls Finish Last is "a rollicking blend of deftly aimed satire and neatly plotted murder mystery" from award-winning author and former CNN journalist Sparkle Hayter, winner of the Sherlock Award for Best Comic Detective as well as an Arthur Ellis Award for best first mystery novel (The Philadelphia Inquirer). The Robin Hudson Mystery series is a winner of the Sherlock Award for Best Comic Detective. Nice Girls Finish Last is the 2nd book in the Robin Hudson Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
