She Scoops to Conquer

Witty, intelligent and suspenceful....what a fun read!

An entertaining read, with adult sex and ragtag situations

Robin Brandeis is an Louisville, Kentucky native. She currently lives and writes in Atlanta, Georgia. She has fond memories of summer days with her grandparents on Kentucky farms.Lane Montgomery is your typical journalist. She lives on a shoestring, is a champion of the underdog, and decides to write a feature story on a young Afro-American teenager who is found murdered. She is also madly in love with Ann Alexander, who works for a rival newspaper. Ann's newspaper is into yellow journalism, featuring gory photographs and surface reporting.But Ann herself is a dish who keeps crashing into Lane's universe as she begins to track a tangled web of murder and drugs. In the meantime, Lane's character provides some humorous and erotic insights into the world of lesbian dating:"Although Mindy came across with a great image-however peculiar, with the movie star look alike thing and all-that's all she had. Other women seemed to have figured out the same thing. It took me three dates to realize that Mindy was all image and no substance. I'm no psychologist, but I suspected the actress imitation thing sprung out of the fact that Mindy Pincher had no idea who Mindy Pincher was."She Scoops to Conquer is a very savvy, witty, and enjoyable murder mystery. Lane Montgomery is a self-deprecating beauty who genuinely has no idea how gorgeous she is. She possesses a natural femininity that constantly surprises in a very positive way. The plot moves right along with urgency, because there are children out there being killed by horrible drug pushers who have set themselves up as icons in the community. Lane's mission is to write her article, save the child, and get the girl, after she has scooped her.Robin Brandeis is a talented writer who knows how to hold her audience. She is innovative, intelligent, and ribald. Watch out world, this is a totally new take on the war of the sexes. An entertaining read, with adult sex and ragtag situations.Shelley GlodowskiReviewer

Rich in character

Two ambitious reporters hopelessly attracted to each other -- that is, when they're not fiercely competing for stories and trying to beat each other to the deadline. This debut novel by a very talented writer weaves suspense and humor into an energetic and entertaining page-turner. I would love to see this book expanded into a series.
