Color Her Dead

Jenny McLarin

Sort of a nonsupernatural Buffy, Chase will appeal to the same crowd that loves the campy vampire slayer. With the potential to develop a cult relationship, it might be wise to pay attention to Susan Chase.

Susan Chase works as a lifeguard on Myrtle Beach's Grand Strand, but she also specializes in finding runaways. When bitchy, penny-pinching Mrs. Rogers wants her 26-year-old daughter found, Susan almost refuses; however, once decided, she struts her attitudinal stuff in the face of jealous lovers, "artistic" temperaments, neighborhood drug sellers, and lecherous art dealers. Along the way she's shoved down stairs, assaulted in her houseboat, and accused of trespass and murder. Brown's (Black Fire) third novel offers local color, a stand-up heroine, and a deceptively simple plot. An outstanding read for the beach or anywhere else. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
