Review # 1 was written on 2018-02-28 00:00:00 Kristen Dunlap Not one of Thompson's best. Not very plotty, no crime. Though it is published by Vintage Crime (I have the paperback - my boyfriend once found it at a used bookstore, and also didn't like It). I can only imagine this was written for the money, one of those exploitative drugstore paperbacks, telling you the scandals of alcoholism. There is sex. From 1953.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-08-11 00:00:00 Charles Beers Chapter One: "They're going to shut down our clinic!" "Oh, no! Whatever shall we do?" "Let's put on a show!" Chapter Two: "Nurse, you are a cheap, blonde whore!" "Like ya likes 'em, doc!" "Not only that, but you're also stealing drugs!" "You're a fine one to talk, chum!" Chapter Three: "The show had a modicum of success! We saved the clinic!" "Hooray!" "Let's have a drink to celebrate!" Chapter Four: "Nurse..." "Yes...?" "You may be cheap..." "Yes..." "You may be a whore..." "Yes..." "You may be stealing drugs and selling them to pay me for your abortions..." "Well, you won't do the abortions for free..." "But, you've got a heart of gold! Marry me!" "Look who's got the heart of gold, my knight in shining armor! Here comes your bride!" THE END
