2.0 out of 5 stars Raunchy, whacked-out, not for the faint of heart, July 14, 1999

This review is from: Mr. Right (Hardcover)

The novel opens with explicit sexual description that is also funny and continues in this way throughout. It's hardly a conventional mystery, though there is a murder that involves a mysterious,reclusive author. Of the plot, the less said, the better. The main characters are two female English teachers in a community college in the Washington, D.C. area; the clientele is mostly minority. These students are being offered a Milton course. The novel has something of the flavor of Fay Weldon but is a little cruder and rather more vulgar. Fun if the reader doesn't mind the raunch and isn't expecting a standard mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best smart-a** parafeminist psychoerotic thriller ever., January 6, 1999

This review is from: Mr. Right (Hardcover)

But I'm the author, so you may want to seek a less biased opinion. Actually, this book is my first, originally published 20 years ago and now being reprinted. It's sexier than any of my mysteries, but the wise-a** humor will be familiar. And my husband, Davis McAuley, did the cover!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, January 4, 2000

By 

True Crime Reader (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr. Right (Hardcover)

Mr. Right is an absolutely delightful dose of depravity. The juxtaposition of suspense, sex and humour keep you continuously off balance from the beginning to the end. No review could possibly do justice to this one of a kind mystery novel. You simply have to read it.
