If I recall correctly, there's a discussion of the Honey West novels in
Bill Pronzini's GUN IN CHEEK.  From what I've heard, the HW stories
sound a lot like the Sheldon Scott novels by Richard Prather (which can
be found in almost any used book store for about $1 a piece).  They're
kind of fun, if you don't mind a lot of double entendre and
Eisenhower-era sex jokes.
