Don’t you just love a solid female protagonist who spends the whole novel kicking ass and taking names? I know I do. In Christa Faust‘s Money Shot
Former porn star Angel Dare was beaten, shot and left for dead. As the men responsible soon find out, they should have been more thorough because she isn’t dead. And what’s more, now she’s pissed. She doesn’t understand how she got involved in this mess but she’s going to find out by hunting down the men responsible. And thus begins Angel’s vendetta that will lead her across state lines and through the seedier aspects of the porn industry, to discover just how far anger can take a person.
It’s a very Kill Bill-esq story but it’s very fun to read. One of the things that surprised me about this book is it’s lack of technology. You know how classic pulp fiction novels take place in the 40′s or at sometime where you had to go good old fashion sleuthing to get to the bottom of things? In Money Shot the author manages to stay true to pulp fiction’s roots and never relies heavily on computers or other CSI devices. Because of that this book feels faithful to the genre.
This book is the perfect epitome of what modern pulp fiction can be. It’s gritty, violent, sexy, and is character driven. If you’re a fan of these types of stories then you owe it to yourself to check it out. I also discovered that Christa Faust is writing a follow up called Choke Hold due out in October 2011 through one of my favorite publishers, Hard Case Crime. I’m excited for the return of Angel Dare.
