This contemporary noir novel is reminiscent of James M. Unfortunately, Payne is not only a different kind of man from those in Sherri's past, he's worse than any on her list of sordid affairs. Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice, with a heavy dose of sexual realism that Cain might have enjoyed if his times would have allowed.. But nature and nurture plot against her when she meets the beautiful, tortured, and rich young Payne, who tempts her with the love and life she never thought possible. Twisted psychology and a pure heart lead her into the dark realm of disillusionment and crime, where she reaches into her deepest reserves for the strength to survive. Even Brenda, Payne's domineering mother, can't keep the lovers apart when Sherri's animal passions take control. The ''modern noir masterpiece'' is now back in print! Hot and scrappy Sherri Parlay gives up her life of depravity, and with best intentions, finds a respectable job as a dry cleaner in hopes for a decent futureCopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. . From Publishers Weekly Hendricks's debut novel is a noir-ish tale of an aging former stripper whose attempt to go clean leads her into a murderously perverse affairAnd it seems like pulling teeth to try and get info from OPM. I was so happy with it that I bought Baby Peekaboo at Target also. Brian's writing style makes the reader feel like he is sitting next to you having a serious discussion about what it felt like to experience being a gravely injured patient. This is very much a character-driven story and the characters were all very well portrayed, from Sherry, former stripper, good-time girl and accidental husband killer trying to shake off her past and live a straight, respectable life, to her lover Payne, a good-looker with a religious and Mummy fixation who turns out to be a cheating liar and control freak.Despite the fact that Sherry commits a murder, the reader can't help feeling empathy for her as she struggles with trying to hold down a 'proper' job and give up her drinking and casual sex lifestyle to have a relationship with Payne. This manual is worth the purchase price.. I will keep my eye out for future books by Lynn Raye Harris since she is a talented writer.. A must read for those who were there, those who were not
