5.0 out of 5 stars
Mysteries look different to a professional wrestler!,
This review is from: Monkey Wrench (Paperback)
The usually simple formula of a detective story has been hopelessly convoluted by dirty reality, and Eva Wylie's slightly twisted perception of it. I'venever met a protagonist so ugly, tough, and stubborn, and she's female! Eva's arms look a lot better than It's a non-stop ride
5.0 out of 5 stars
I was heartbroken to learn there are only 3 books in this series,

This review is from: Monkey Wrench (Paperback)
Although this book took a bit of getting into -- it's a very strong story told by a very strong main character in a "noir" style of speaking -- once I got into it, I loved it. I thought, "I'll have to read the rest of the series" (this is the second) and learned that there are only three in all. Author, please explain?The main character, Eva, is a female wrestler in London. She's tough -- very tough -- and very independent. She has attitude and problems with authority. And underneath it all, she's a kind person, despite what she says about herself being so tough and not caring about others. Eva gets involved with a bunch of streetwalkers. One of them has been beaten to death, and the victim's sister is an old acquaintance of Eva (Eva claims not to be friends with her). Eva agrees to teach them self-defense and more and more gets pulled into their lives. This book doesn't really focus on "who done it" -- and the ending isn't neat and tidy, like most mysteries. But it's great writing with a strong central female character who is likable despite her extreme roughness and quick temper. I look forward to reading the other two in the series and wish the author would revive this character.

delightful contender!,

This review is from: Monkey Wrench (Hardcover)
Just came across this and I'm going to read the next one in the series immediately! The other reviews explain this unique female lead and her environment. I like the book because it is quirky, consistent, a bit of an inspiration, and slyly humorous. Eva Wylie is a contender!
