Book Reviews of Money Shot (Hard Case Crime)
Book Review: Pulp Fiction at its best
Summary: 4 Stars
In the author's biog, Quentin Tarantino is said to have described Christa Faust as 'a Veronica in a world of Betties.' This is hardly a surprise when you realise that 'Money Shot' has a plot very much like one of his films.
Angel Dare is an ex porn star who is tempted into doing one last job by an old friend. Only things aren't quite as they seem. Angel is lured into a trap, where unpleasant men will stop at nothing to find a young girl who has stolen a briefcase full of their money. It's only when the people closest to her get hurt that Angel becomes determined to get revenge, helped by the attractive and enigmatic Malloy.
This is really great pulp fiction at its best, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. Just for a taster:
'If you squinted it all seemed normal. Except for the part about me being and ex-porn star dressed up like a boy, wanted by the cops and on the run from the psycho ringleader of some kind of prostitution slavery racket who'd tried to have me killed once and wanted to finish the job.'
See what I mean? Great fun and recommended.
