Review: Femme LESS fatale...

I started with the newest and very up-to-date Rhode story (Sandy is there!) featuring a  femme TRES fatale. This one has another gorgeous lady, not directly fatal to anyone.I wonder whether the author is obsessed with strong female (and gorgeous, of course) characters. Can be much worse.Otherwise, he is very observant. I lived in Fort Lauderdale for nine years, not in a gated community but in a beach high-rise. During that time I, of course, visited a whole bunch of gated communities on the Atlantic coast and the author describes them very accurately, including the significant differences in their security procedures.I check his credential on the New York Times website (my homepage) and he was, indeed, quite active there in the eighties of the previous century.Maybe he chose to become a full time fiction writer after he made clear to the powers-to-be there (and in the Wall Street Journal as well) that he considered them essentially extraterrestrial.Four stars and highly recommended tale of somewhat convoluted events.
