4.0

Not *quite as brilliant as the first two Aud Torvingen novels, this was still a great read. Two plot lines alternate chapters, one following a flashback of Aud's teaching a women's self defense class, with bloody results, and the other following her visit to Seattle, where sabotage, attempted murder, Norwegian family values and the magic of film-making all mix together in a gorgeous mess. If you like six foot tall, cropped hair, Norwegian ex-cop lesbians who can kick the shit out of you and then carve you an oak rocking chair, you'll love Aud. ;)
