3.0 out of 5 stars
Read Her other books first,
By puffinswan "puffinswan" (Brigadoon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tourist Trap (Mass Market Paperback)
Tourist Trap is not Julie Smith's best book but it still ain't bad. Her heroine is a bit too dithery for my taste and the plot is not as tight as it should be. Read New Orleans Mourning or True Life Adventure-they are both great books.
5.0 out of 5 stars
An All-Time Favorite,
By FiftyNinth (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tourist Trap (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book about ten years ago, and it remains one of my favorites, for its audacity. This was the book that made me realize that authors did not have to write within limits, but could invent the most outlandish and thrilling stories. I cannot wait to read it again.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Another case of American Jewish gender confusion?,
By R. Bagula "Roger L. Bagula" (Lakeside, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Tourist Trap (Mass Market Paperback)
Audition For Murder (Morgan Taylor Mysteries)O Sacred Head (Fred Taylor Mystery) If I hadn't just read mysteries with a hard boiled actress and one with an art historian, I probably would not have realized the detective / lawyer in this novel is a male in a female body. That's probably why this novel fails besides it's strange days for months for timeline. If the gender of the two main characters is exchanged( newsman and lawyer) the plotline actually works better? I wonder how many other mysteries start with somebody nailed to a cross?
