Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Fresh Flesh is a controversial, modern crime story that delves into the lives of the young, rich and glamorous where cocaine is seen as a trendy vitamin supplement.

Saz, the intrepid PI, and her girlfriend, Molly, are having a baby with their best friends: Chris and his boyfriend Marc. Through in vitro fertilization, Chris' sperm has fertilised Saz's egg, which has been implanted into Molly's womb. And they are all eagerly awaiting parenthood. Not the most traditional of families but happy nonetheless.

Her latest case, however, isn't as rosy. Chris is the son of adoptive parents and with fatherhood pending becomes curious about his real birthparents. Saz sets out to discover the identities and whereabouts of his real parent, but rather than a routine search, she finds herself struggling to unravel a complex mesh of relationships.

Information is scarce and those who may be able to help are giving nothing away. Georgina Leyton, the ice-cool, beautiful lawyer knows something but is as slippery as greased gavel. And another adoptee, Luke Godwin, the temperamental owner of a popular new bar, is sending mixed signals. If that was not enough, she ends up taking on a similar case for the notorious celebrity cook, Patrick Freeman, who's also looking to find his birthparents.

With the aid of her friends, she finds herself having to pull dangerous stunts (including break-ins to government offices) to get to the bottom of the mystery. Doing so, she uncovers a bizarre set of transactions involving the sinister exploitation of women--which forces her to consider the morality of her own actions in her attempts to fulfil her desire to procreate: "The dividing line between right and wrong was even less clear than she usually found it. Much as part of her wanted to run away, just to play happy families and refuse to look at any of this, Saz had no choice. China shops and blind bulls came to mind." --Neelam Dongha --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Saz Martin: book 4 5 Feb 2008
By RD VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Ms Duffy has made a leap from good book to very good book with the 4th installment in the Saz Martin series. Much more gritty and dark especially since Saz herself is quite close to her client and the case. The book doesnt begin anywhere near the ending of the last one which is a bit sad because 'Beneath the blonde' had Saz cheating on Molly while she was away and things not being quite hunky dory at home. 'Fresh flesh' however has Molly pregnant with Saz's (and Chris as sperm donor) baby. Chris who is adopted is suddenly interested on finding out who his biological parents were and enlists Saz's help. Unfortunately, neither one of them know that they are opening a can of worms that will have far reaching effects.

Defintely the best of the series so far and unlike mainstream books with central lesbian characters this is foremost a crime/thriller book. The characters just happen to be lesbian. This makes a fabulous change from all the typical romance novels that come out in droves.
Only one book to go unfortunately and then I'll have to find a new series to keep me company. :(
