Amateur City by Katherine V. Forrest


Amateur City
by Katherine V. Forrest
Pages: 210
Date: October 31 2011 (originally published 1984)
Publisher: Bella Books
Series: Kate Delafield (first book)

Review
Rating: 4.0 out of 5.0
Read: January 20 2015

Amateur City, book 1 in the series, involves an executive who was murdered. Two LA police detectives, Kate Delafield (lesbian), and Ed Taylor (bigot), investigate. Oddly the story seemed to be more focused on someone who just joined the firm as a secretary. Ellen O'Neil.

It's actually a rather rich detailed little book that might even have ended up rated higher by me if it had cut back on the bigotry. Which later books, at least the second and third, had done. - Amateur City is something Ed Taylor says that the case should be. Or, that the case is "Amateur City", an amateur killer, so it should be an easy case to solve.
