Titlen siger meget godt, hvad bogen handler om. Det er interessante portrætter af virkelig interessante kvinder. Det er ikke kun hyldest portrætter. Heldigvis. Det er portrætter af virkelige kvinder som har fejl og mangler som os andre, men som gjorde /gør noget der skilte/skiller dem ud
Siden d. 4. august 1996 har jeg skrevet ned hver gang jeg har læst en bog, og er startet forfra med nr 1 hver den 4. august. Da det efterhånden er ved at være en del notesbøger, har jeg besluttet, at fra d. 4. august 2008 går over til blog i stedet for notesbog

Sandra Dallas's nyeste bog og en af hendes bedste. Personerne er interessante, og nogen man kan forstå og leve sig ind i. Der er ingen fordømmelse, kun interesse.
It is the spring of 1885 and wealthy New York socialite Beret Osmundsen has been estranged from her younger sister, Lillie, for a year when she gets word from her aunt and uncle that Lillie has died suddenly in Denver. What they do not tell her is that Lillie had become a prostitute and was brutally murdered in the brothel where she had been living. When Beret discovers the sordid truth of Lillie’s death, she makes her way to Denver, determined to find her sister’s murderer. Detective Mick McCauley may not want her involved in the case, but Beret is determined, and the investigation soon takes her from the dangerous, seedy underworld of Denver’s tenderloin to the highest levels of Denver society. Along the way, Beret not only learns the depths of Lillie’s depravity, but also exposes the sinister side of Gilded Age ambition in the process.
