'Lipstick & Blood' by John Kearney felt kind of like your typical lesbian love triangle, throat-slicing, teen murder. If there is such a thing, and I guess from this book there is, any fault in the book comes from characters who are such stereotypes. Hysterical drama-queen can't decide which sex she prefers, so she marries a fairly standard, nicely employed man for a meal ticket & continues an affair with a female friend. Female friend ends up in a pool of blood. Who all will end up in court is hard to determine for police. I could see quite a bit of work in exploring background and it wasn't badly written. Pool book but not especially gripping. I did think the writing was good.
