12. Well. . . IMO you didn't miss too much by dropping the book.
I read it a couple of months ago--ordered it from Amazon.com on the basis of a couple of rave reviews. But, I read a fair number of mysteries and personally found it among the most tedious I've come across for quite a while. Not because of its lesbian content but just a novel that hardly kept my attention. (Granted, it had _every_ female character having tumbled into bed with every other female at some point. This struck me as a little unrealistic..maybe I can't know, since I'm straight, but it seemed like the author used it as an easy way to get more red herrings.)

Anyway, I still have the copy and would be glad to send it to you if you'd still like to read it. Not everyone would probably share my low opinion of the book.

The best LA area-setting novel I've found recently is John Shannon's DANGEROUS GAMES.
Apparently he has a whole series, the Jack Liffey mysteries, but this is the only one I've read.
