Fast Women
Nell is stumbling through life after her twenty-two marriage ends in divorce. Looking to start again she takes a job as a temporary secretary at a small Private Detective Agency.
As she drives her new boss crazy trying to modernize the office she starts to find a purpose in life. It doesn’t hurt that the Agency’s caught up in a juicy puzzle involving murder, embezzlement and adultery.
Maybe I’m just getting tired of reading this author’s books or this really is a pretty perfunctory entry in Crusie’s canon. There’s just so many scenes of women being morose over failed or failing marriages and there’s no fun to be had in that.
