Carmen Ramirez Mysteries, 2. Final Cut / Lisa Haddock

Public ISBD Titre de série : Carmen Ramirez Mysteries, 2 Titre : Final Cut Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lisa Haddock, Auteur Editeur : Naïad Press Année de publication : 1995 Importance : 189 pages ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-56280-088-8 Langues : Anglais Catégories : Genres:Policier et thriller Littérature Littérature:- Roman Résumé : In her second outing (after Edited Out), lesbian newspaper editor Carmen Ramirez finds intolerance in the heartland. Frontier City, Okla., is Bible-belt country--not the easiest place to be openly gay, even on a university campus where Carmen and her grad-student lover, Julia, have managed to carve out a life for themselves. The normally faithful Carmen finds herself in a difficult situation, however, when an old friend, Antoinette (Toni) Stewart, comes back into her life. What begins as a simple romantic dilemma turns into something much uglier when Toni is murdered. The prime suspect, a combative man in their lesbian and gay group, pleads with Carmen to find the real killer. Although not convinced of his innocence, Carmen reluctantly agrees. When the body of a gay man turns up close to where Toni was found, it seems likely that someone is targeting lesbians and gays. Haddock does a credible job with the feisty Carmen's complex character, but other cast members are stiff, either too abrasive or too good to ring true.

Carmen Ramirez Mysteries, 1. Edited Out / Lisa Haddock

Public ISBD Titre de série : Carmen Ramirez Mysteries, 1 Titre : Edited Out Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lisa Haddock, Auteur Editeur : Naïad Press Année de publication : 1994 Importance : 189 pages Langues : Anglais Catégories : Genres:Policier et thriller Littérature Littérature:- Roman Résumé : Carmen Ramirez, Haddock's 24-year-old Irish-Puerto Rican lesbian protagonist, is no detective. Rather, she is a copy editor at her hometown newspaper in Frontier City, Okla., where she lives in her homophobic grandmother's renovated garage and mourns the end of her first relationship. Assigned to assist a columnist, Carmen begins to dig into the two-year-old story of a lesbian teacher who molested and killed a 12-year-old, then committed suicide--or did she? Carmen is pulled off the story, but she continues her investigation, asking tough questions and tangling with everyone, including an at-first suspicious lesbian bartender, her own boss, the schools, the powerful local church and, of course, her irascible grandmother. A trail of cover-ups and half-truths leads Carmen and love-interest/sidekick Julia to Lovell Taft University, where the murdered girl's sister is sequestered with her secrets. As Carmen draws closer to the truth, she risks job, relationships and even her life. Edited Out is a fast-paced murder mystery with more complexity than the usual fare. The characters are likable if somewhat unidimensional and broadly drawn, and the writing is straightforward and generally clean, with a fast tempo and a plot that ebbs and flow engagingly.
