DS I got a right royal
slagging(in a very polite RA way of course) I think it's well
worth going back for, but i warn you, it is not a happy read,
it made me feel grimy, despairing of the human condition and
melancholy, but I'm not sorry I read it. Re current |HB women
writers,from over here I like Laurie Henderson and from over
there I recently got a Sparkle Hayter on whom I'm reserving
judgement(but she has a good funny homepage). I can't read
Grafton either, but for a slightly harder edge on a similar
theme you could try Val McDermid(though she isn't always my
cup of tea) But whatever you do avoid Iguana Love by Vicki
Hendricks, we discussed this a while back I know, but to sum
up, crapcrapcrap was at least my humble op. If she ever got
the Booker Prize and the Golden Dagger and an Edgar it would
still not be enough to ever persuade me to pick up another of
her books. Jane
