A review by corrie
Butch Fatale, Dyke Dick - Double D Double Cross by Christa Faust

5.0

OMG! Christa Faust where have you been all my life?!

With a title like Butch Fatale, Dyke Dick - Double D Double Cross, it could either be very bad or very good and you know what? It was more than good, it was fantastic! I think that this modern noir brings forth one of the most memorable and well-written lesbian PI’s I’ve ever encountered.

Butch Fatale was every bit the cover blurb promises (a fast-talking, skirt-chasing, two-fisted lesbian private investigator with an insatiable appetite for two things — women and trouble) and I loved her to bits. And oh boy, trouble does find her in more ways than you can imagine.

It’s hilarious, tragic, sexy, action-packed and if you know (or live in) Los Angeles, this book will be even more fun because the author makes the city a big part of the story (or like one reviewer said, the city is a character on its own). I had scenes of SNL’s skit The Californians pop into my head whenever the author talked about the notorious LA traffic.

Book Club Buddy D. (thank you for pointing me towards this book) and I had buckets of fun and I have another author to add to my favorites. Highly recommended!

f/f explicit

Themes: Los Angeles California, Butch loves the women… all women, you get your money’s worth in the sexy times department, tight plot… I did not see it coming, Faust can switch from slapstick fun to deeply poignant scenes and do both equally well, it seems I am developing a fast love for the noir genre.

5 stars
