Cross-posted on ReaderlingAbout a third of the way into Fast Women, I had to fold back and check the publication date. I was pretty sure this had to have been penned in the 80s, given the attitudes and assumptions of most of the cast. Nope! 2004. I'm not saying this is retrograde or backward or anyt...

This is actually a fun read. It has a bit of a snarky tone, and I laughed a lot during reading it. Additionally, some suspenseful elements kept my attention throughout the book. Read full review HERE.

I really got wrapped up in this book thinking men were scum. The romance didn't get serious until half way into the story but the humor, character interaction and solving the crime kept me interested throughout.

2,5The plot is not bad and as usual the characters are nice but they have killed me with their chit-chats. It's too dragged.

Because her friends, Suze and Margie, are worried about her, she gets a job as a secretary at Gabe McKenna's detective agency. Of course, Gabe's biggest clients are also all the men who are or once were in Nell...

OK, they're not really fast exactly, but c'mon, they only have fragile little stumpy china legs. The Walking Ware may be only a metaphor (a pretty obvious one), but these women are Special Olympics fast, not Florence Griffith Joyner fast. They are like people who come out of comas and must slowly le...
