Customer Reviews
this was no red light special - Rated This is the first Mary Monroe book that I was actually disappointed in and I couldn't wait to get to the end of the book just so I could put an end to the torture. The novel tells six women who ended up working in the world's oldest profession for a smooth operator called Clyde. My problem with the novel was not the story, language or characters; my problem was the style. Those familiar with Mary Monroe would be aware how she often uses short chapters to keep the reader in suspense, and you are usually following one main protagonist. In Red Light Wives there are six protagonists, and each needs explanations as to how they ended up where they are, what they are doing, and what their plans of action are. In the end I was getting so confused and so frustrated at having to wait for so long for each protagonists story to continue. There were some very long chapters; well long by Mary Monroe standards anyway. In the end I lost a lot of sympathy and patience for most of the "wives" and just wanted Clyde to disappear. Try it and see, maybe it's just me and I should try reading again in a few years.
