In the era of disco, Marti Hirsch is just another would-be writer looking for a break--until someone fatally shoots her friend's fiance. When the cops seem disinterested in the investigation, Marti turns sleuth. Her search takes her throughout the Bad Apple--from chic penthouses to dingy dives, and she soon has to worry about staying alive, staying alive.
I picked this up with no great expectations but was wonderfully surprised by the author's witty writing and her ability to capture the 70s. It's also nice to see a mystery heroine who enjoys sex and actually gets it! Brava, Ms. Moore!
great disco mystery!

I loved the wild sex scene with Mr. Teeth! Can't wait for the new book! I fantasize about Marti ever since I read last dance. She is a starlet.

Did you grow up in the 70's? If you did, you'll enjoy the trivia and reference in this engaging murder mystery. The coming of age of a nation is relived through the obsessions of a Jewish girl from Brooklyn. Who did it, and what chutzba! Only Marty knows for sure.

I met the author at a book reading and found her to be a very interesting person. She read the first chapter (it's short) and I was hooked! The story flows nicely. It's not a particularly deep or sophisticated book. It is entertaining in that I was always drawn to read further to see where the character was going. I realate this type of book to easy, relaxing reading for those times when you want to escape reality and enjoy the world of images and imagination.
