pickAn earlier book in the 87th Precinct series, so a bit more tightly plotted. This takes place over a single day: the wedding of Carella‘s sister, Angela. It was published in 1959 so there are some cringey descriptions of women as viewed by men 🙄
rabbitprincess Hey @DGRachel I FINALLY ended up reading this, only about 3 months after you inspired me to pick it up 😁 2y
DGRachel 3 months is super speedy for me!😂😂 2y
tokorowilliamwallace The one of his I just finished, published in 1957 and written under a pen name, actually had some interesting dialogue and internal processing about relationships and intersex communication. Though it was also kind of Hollywood-cliche and the plot-driven contextualized behavior of the authorities newer too blithely dismissive, engaged in gaslighting, and we're kind of triggering at first. Thankfully that was minimized as the story went on. 2y
rabbitprincess @tokorowilliamwallace That is interesting! I find the earlier books in this series can be super cringey in how the characters perceive women, but some books are less cringey than others. I didn‘t much like Candyland, which he wrote partly under a pen name (it was billed as a collab between him and Evan Hunter). 2y
