Great romp! I read the original British version, "The Movie". Bagshawe has the requisite skill for this type of escapist fiction - sexy, witty (at times), tongue-in-cheek, femme fatale fantasies come to life. No aspirations for great literature although the writing is very good. Her first novel, Career Girls, is more thrilling. Reading her books makes you feel like a very clever, attractive, sophisticated babe who can conquer the world. You can't help but root for her heroines - brainy babes with laser-like focus. Also read her third novel, Tall Poppies, whose story lags a bit compared to the previous two. Saw her fourth novel on the shelves of my neighborhood library today: Venus Envy.

A little bit of light reading which makes one smile. It is well paced and typical of the style of Louise Bagshaw. Delivered on time and in good condition.

I have to wonder just what Louise Bagshawe intended with _Triple Feature_. As a run of the mill, summer-at-the-beach, escapist yarn, this book serves nicely, and even offers occasionally evocative writing.
But under the surface, beyond stock characters and cliched developments, lurks something rather intelligent. Ms. Bagshawe presents a "perfect" movie script, without bothering to try and write one. Actually, she makes this mysterious thing more interesting in abstentia than it would have been spelled out.
And these characters are just too idealized. They are too "Hollywood." This was probably the intent, but as Ms. Bagshawe creates a fantasy, she manages to parody it as well.
In the end, Ms. Bagshawe becomes something of a literary Jerry Springer. As she gives the reading public what it wants, she seems to be hiding a sardonic smile backstage. And this makes it half way worthwhile.
