Award-winning lesbian author Elizabeth Sims’s latest whodunnit, Lucky Stiff, released through Alyson Books, is a top-notch, lesbian mystery.

Billed as a “Lillian Byrd Crime Story,” Lucky Stiff is so expertly plotted that you’ll find yourself discovering all the evidence right along with lesbian heroin Lillian Byrd. And, unlike so many crime stories and murder mysteries, Sims keeps you guessing, and finding yourself surprised, right up to the last page.

Avid readers of our literary reviews know that I don’t especially like mysteries (probably goes back to being forced to read Nancy Drew mysteries as a child, but that’s another story). But, I found myself totally engulfed in this book and not having to try very hard to remember the characters. Mystery lovers will absolutely enjoy this novel.
