Report For Murder by Val McDermid
3.0
Everything's better with lesbians. Fact.
Otherwise, this book is ordinary bordering on unpleasant. I may have gotten some metaphorical whiplash from Lindsay and Cordelia's hot and cold conversations, and not seen where the slightest bit of attraction came from other than physical, but it was an unsensationalised lesbian relationship in a contemporary book from the eighties and that's something.
And the murder mystery was both a bona fide murder and an adequate mystery, which is more than I can say for a lot of what I've read lately.
