About this listen
Dory Quillin, nineteen years old, her white-blonde hair ruffled by the gentle breezes of a June evening, lies dead in the parking lot of a lesbian bar. Her bewildered silver-blue eyes stare beseechingly into the mind and soul of the woman who kneels beside her: LAPD homicide detective Kate Delafield.
The investigation is far from a simple matter. Kate uncovers shocking facts about the brief life of the murdered young lesbian. She finds her road to the killer obstructed by Dory's uncooperative, judgmental parents, the waning interest of her own partner, and most frustrating of all, the open hostility of women who should be her allies—the lesbians who frequent the Nightwood Bar. Kate's emotional equilibrium is further disturbed by her powerful attraction to one of those women, the enigmatic Andrea Ross.
Who killed Dory Quillin? And why? Accompany Kate Delafield on her electrifying, emotional journey to the answer, an answer you will never forget.

Superb.
Gripping , disturbing, touching and brilliant. Truely fantasticly well written and narrated. I never read these as physical books but I am so excited and grateful they are now audiobooks. I feel like these are important stories, very well told and a snapshot into a time period, not so long ago. Can't wait to listen to the others.

Brilliant!
I remember reading this in paperback back in the late 1980's and, if I'm honest, I really enjoyed the audio version better. This took me back to when I was in my twenties and trying to find my place among the gay/lesbian community. Unfortunately, I never found that place.
Katherines characters and plots are fabulously real.
I truly recomend this book to any lesbian, regardless of age.
I AM PROUD TO BE ME!

The Life
Detective Kate, tenacious, smart and compassionate unpacks a twisty case and all the wreckage and damaged lives it leaves in its wake. Thoughtful and realistic representation of living the life, the characters and caring that makes it possible to overcome the setbacks and keep open and clear eyed.

The continuing challenges of modern day conflicts
The beautifully drawn characterisations of the customers of the Nightwood Bar root todays challenges into situations we might all recognise. Out of the lives of loving individuals complicated by their colour, sexuality and often loneliness Katherine V Forrest and her reader make something beautiful contrasting with the horrors of criminal abuse and cruelty. The reader is constantly reminded of the beauty of love and loyalty, duty, compassion, physical expressions of love and kindness. The weakest and most appealing characters are so loveable and so sympathetically depicted and one wants to meet them again and again.
