Product Description

Synopsis

Alison's girlfriend, Mistress Anastasia, is putting on a leather event. And Alison cannot ignore the undercurrent of malice and deception beneath the bantering and the blatant sexuality of the event. Can she work quickly enough to uncover old feuds and secrets?

From the Author

I'm really happy this book is finally out!
I am always amused by how badly Stacy acts while in a tizzy, so was happy to put her in a position (producing a big leather event) where she was in pretty much a constant tizzy. Probably my last Alison and Stacy book for a while.

A mystery is the last thing she needs at her leather event. On leave from the Denver PD and relegated to driving the airport shuttle, Alison cannot ignore the undercurrent of malice and deception beneath the bantering and blatant sexuality Can Alison work quickly enough to uncover old feuds and secrets - or will someone go home as cargo?

This series just keep getting better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot off the press and its sizzling!, 20 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Just a Little Lie (Alison Kaine Mysteries) (Paperback)
The fourth mystery about Denver Cop Alison, her lover Stacy and their various friends is also sizzling with dominatrix Stacy's efforts to run a Leather and S/M conference for lesbians. Unlike the previous novels which have all focused around murder, this one appears to be about blackmail. But where Alison is, as Stacy points out, the bodies will follow, even if they're not recognised as murder for most of the novel.

As ever the characterisation is excellent; the women really live off the page and you either love them or loathe them. The changing nature of Alison and Stacy's relationship also plays a large role seeming both tremendously strong and terribly fragile coping with Stacy's tantrums, Alison's fibromyalgia syndrome, flirtatious femmes and interfering friends. The issue of FMS is dealt with particularly well, as we not only see Alison's fears of being rejected by Stacy if she tells her, but also that Stacy is feeling rejected by Alison by keeping the FMS a secret from her.

As ever various lesbian taboos are raised; Leather and S/M are the base line for the community depicted in the novel and abusive relationships are as prevalent in the lesbian community as anywhere else.

While not as side-splittingly funny as "It takes one to know one" it felt great to hang out with Alison and the gals again; my only whine is that Michelle was barely in it! Star Trek:TNG and Kinsey references are spot on as usual, but aren't the girls enjoying Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine by now?

I was sad to read that Kate Allen is abandoning Alison and Co. for a while, but I'll happily read anything she puts in print, from her shopping list onwards!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, intelligent, credible, exciting, funny and sexy, 17 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Just a Little Lie (Alison Kaine Mysteries) (Paperback)
Kate Allen is outstanding as a crime writer and as an observer of lesbian life. This series (which sadly seems to be ending) is consistently excellent and I enjoyed the finale enormously. You owe it to yourself - it's better than chocolate, honestly
