Review
Praise for Sandra Scoppettone' s This Dame for Hire
" Faye Quick is a real hoot, a tough-talking, wisecracking, lovable character in the mold of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe. Scoppettone also does a bang-up job of re-creating New York City of the World War II era, a rich setting for a mystery story."
- Chicago Sun-Times
" The author hits the ground running with the appealing, savvy Faye and her network of cops and friends. The strong characters are complemented by Scoppettone' s insightful look at World War II New York."
- Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
" [Faye] is the real gem here. She rises to every situation, even as she doesn' t believe she has it in her. She' s fun, caring, loves art and literature, hates pretense, and is quick with the zingers."
- Detroit Free Press
" Quick is a most interesting and original creation, and Sandra Scoppettone has come up with a vivid picture of a city not only surviving but thriving under a cloud of wartime gloom. . . . Her details of life in Manhattan . . . sound like the real McCoy."
- Chicago Tribune
" [Faye Quick is] a fascinating new heroine to be watched."
- Library Journal (starred review)
"From the Hardcover edition."
