Reviews

[Sheldon Lehman · Rating 2 out of 5]

like the other "Ladies" book, it's just a complation of stories from previous books. If you've read the rest of the 87th precinct series, save you time and money.

[Keith Astbury · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first Ladies book dealt with the cops and some of their love interests. Ladies Too is strictly about the baddies! Once again it consists totally of extracts (sometimes very lengthy ones) from previous 87th Precinct novels and there is absolutely nothing new here, but as with Ladies I enjoyed getting briefly reacquainted with the likes of Carella etc.

Couple of extracts I enjoyed
But very dated & in today’s world very politically incorrect
