Beschreibung
Lady Bag, released at last from prison, is greeted by her friends and reunited with her best-loved companion greyhound, Electra. She has been sober for months, and her friends want to keep her on the straight and narrow. What could possibly go wrong? About Lady Bag Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up for a whole novel. Lady Bag is perfectly realized (Sara Paretsky). A great read. Lady Bag is a wonderful addition to your line-up of unforgettable women characters. I was deeply involved in her life and situation from page 1. Great dialogue as ever and some gorgeous imagery. It all added up to a book Im sorry to close (Peter Lovesey). Its the sharp writing as much as the unusual setting that makes this book such a joy. Codys dialogue is always funny and full of purpose, and here shes found her perfect protagonista creative mangler of platitudes and uncontrollable shredder of pomp and hypocrisy (Mat Coward, The Morning Star).
