Interesting mystery. Sex gets a more philosophical and ethical consideration by the lead character who is a "sexual surrogate" whose unexpected involvement in the career has her reflecting positively on the role of "courtesan" which she identifies with. Her roommate and good friends is a priest preaching a ministry to the homeless and she supports his ministry with her earnings- another small moral issue. A running thread comparing morality and ethics among characters creates interest and the interview techniques of a policewoman are highlighted interestingly with the suspect who evaluates and learns from them.
Quite a nice little book, short and quick with a little more reflection than just mere who did it and why.

This is a fun, very fast read, with a real mystery in it. Surprisingly very little actual sex--so if you're looking for a Laurell K. Hamilton level of sex, not what you want. However, if you're looking for a fun mystery where you actually have to think a little about whodunit, pick this one.

It took me a few chapters to get into this book but wow what a screwy scenario.

A sex therapist pimps out her clients to a female sex surrogate, Lydia Quess -- legalized prostitution. In the first few pages of the book, a client is murdered in Lydia's bed and she is the prime suspect. The irony of the situation is that Lydia's roommate is a catholic priest while Lydia is a hooker. Gotta love it.

This is a story of the suspect (Lydia) doing her own detective work and because the police, of course, suspect her and aren't giving the case their full attention. A short but sweet mystery.

A enjoyable mystery set in modern day New York with the sleuth a sex surrogate. Not erotic.
