stefhyena's review
3.0
It's a lesbian mystery. She's a marine and reminiscing on her time in Vietnam. Some good points are made about war, power, the problems with protesting (even though war is terrible), gender and homophobia as well as friendship and humanity. There is also a tendency to end up glorifying the military after all which seems illogical when all is said and done. But only books from the 90s dare to be this anti-war
Kate and Aimee have a strained beginning in this book and end up to sweet to be true making this very much a junk-food read. It follows the formula of murder happens, detective works out who did it. Perpetrator kidnaps detective and tries to kill her. Cliches galore but I liked it anyway maybe for the anti-war and anti-authority moments. Maybe for the queerness. A good enough to be enjoyable read.
