3.0 out of 5 stars Sex Scenes Overwhelm What Little Mystery There Is, 13 Jun 2001
By A. Ross (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Jakubowski is well known as an editor and writer of both erotic and crime fiction, but this is his first full-length crime novel. That said, it oozes sex at every pore-not just the obligatory plain vanilla sex found in many thrillers, but rather all manner of fornication is rendered in very explicit detail (including anonymous bathhouse and extreme S&M torture scenes). Indeed, the sex somewhat overwhelms what little mystery there is. P.I. Martin is engaged by two clients to find different missing women. His story is alternated with that of Cornelia, a stripper/book-collector/hitwoman first introduced in the short story "Femme Fatale Blues" in Fresh Blood 2. This narrative construct guarantees their eventual meeting, dispelling some of the suspense. More unfortunately, the giant "twist" revealed in the final chapter is telegraphed far too obviously from the very beginning, and fails to surprise at all. Still, it's hard not to feel a little sympathy for all the lonely characters Jakubowski trots out in this rather bleak novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A detective story with plenty of action and bags of sex., 14 Jul 2000
By A Customer
I seldom read books with explicit sex in them, but I stumbled on On Tenderness Express thinking it was a straight forward private eye story. Well, it is: the private eye has two seperate missing women to find in a quest that takes him to Amsterdam, New York and New Orleans. Along the way there's a female book-collecting hit woman who strips on the side and our detective gets involved in all kinds of bizarre sex, including a gay romp in a steam bath in London, a master-slave sado-masochistic situation and plenty more. And the twist in the tale is something else. Five stars really aren't enough.
