WOW! What a main character! Michele "Micky" Knight is "old school", she drinks too much, has her life together but not really and she sort of knows what she wants. You will either enjoy her character as the story unfolds or you will not. What I like is her persistence, care for others and not stopping until the job is complete. I look forward to reading the next book in the series!

Holy crap, what a great book! I’d had trouble finding this, the first in the series, so started the second. There were too many mentions of things that happened in the first one, so I went into must-find mode. Even the publisher only had e-book versions. I ended up with a used copy—sorry J.M., no royalties on this one. While Micky Knight is a pretty typical hard-boiled private eye, what I like about this book is that the mystery does not overpower the characters. There are mysteries for the sake

Reading Death of a Dying Man made me want to reread the series because there was really a lot of stuff I didn't remember. I couldn't place some characters and couldn't recall al ot of Micky's history.
So I went and read. It was fun! Micky was rawer and edgier back then, layers and layers of her history slowly displayed. I disliked her best friend Danny with a passion I don't think I felt the first time around.

It took quite awhile, maybe a little over halfway through, to start liking this book. The characters weren't doing it for me and were typical lesbian fiction cliches. The story meandered a bit and it felt like this could easily have been 50-75 pages shorter and tighter. However, at the end of the day, I did want to see how the story ended and felt the last few chapters were quite good.

Not bad. I liked Hutch and Millie, and Barbara and her kids/mom. I'm not sure how I feel about Micky and her posse yet.
The story started out slowly and a couple of times at the very beginning I debated whether or not to put it down (I have Watchmen and The Blood Books, Vol 2 waiting for me, among other things), but I stuck with it, and it did not so much get better but get more fluid and start to fit together a bit tighter.
Will I read the next in the series right away, probably not, but the rest ...more

First book of Mickey Knight series. Detective Michelle Knight (Mickey to her friends) set in NOLA, written in the style of Sam Spade and Mike Hammer with a lesbian twist. Money, drugs, dangers and of course the beautiful woman in danger.
Love this book! Re-reading it because we're featuring it on episode 18 of Cocktail Hour.
