Looking for Mr. Goodbar by Judith Rossner

4.0

Sexy but depressing account of a lonely NYC teacher who frequents local bars and takes home men she doesn't know, which eventually leads to her grisly murder. The book isn't a mystery, though. It's all about Theresa Dunn and why she does what she does. I've read Rossner based this novel on the true story of Rosanna Quinn, who really was a NYC teacher, and was murdered by a man she took home from a bar. Some of Theresa's thoughts and feelings in this book hit a little too close to home, and I found myself haunted by Theresa for a few days after finishing it.
