Lois Lenz, Lesbian Secretary

By Monica Nolan

Lois Lenz was like any other wholesome former cheerleader with a knack for office skills - until she took a job at Sather & Sterling in bustling Bay City. Spending her days in the cut-throat typing pool and her nights at the all-women's residence of Magdalena Arms, Lois had no idea she was entering a world of working girls whose passionate desires - and fabulous fashion sense - could lead any innocent lamb astray ... a wickedly funny paridy of gay and lesbian pulp classics that weaves sex, mystery, murder and mayhem into a highly entertaining romp.

So much fun!

This book was so much fun to read! I really enjoyed her book of short stories - even if the title WAS too embarrassing to read it on the airplane in public after I bought it in the airport bookstore - but this one was even better. Her characters were funny and sweet (most of them), nobody was irredeemable, and she had the tone and dialect perfect for books actually written in the era this was set in. Anyone who likes Mabel Maney's parodies of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys will love these. They're completely different - much more erotic, even though they certainly are PG-13 - but the era and the tone are very similar. Anyone who enjoys those old pulp novels will like this, too - she cleverly uses a lot of the old standard themes and settings. I really hope that she writes some more like this, even if she doesn't do a true sequel.

Just a rollicking good time

This was a great, fun read. Monica has a word-perfect ear for the mores of the 50's, when I grew up, from fear of Commies to cheerleader routines. Her sly, tongue-in-cheek take on the worldlification of a young girl made me laugh out loud. For a good time, read...
