Tight Rope

I was suitably entertained, although I preferred Quick's “Close Up” in this same series for being more explicitly feminist. My quibbles are that the syndicated crime plot was more complicated than entertaining, and the “hero with special powers” bit would be better if it either didn't exist at all, or Quick (really Jayne Ann Krentz) more fully committed to the magical realism. Still, I like her smart heroines and egalitarian action.
