I love JM's writing style, and hearing Mickey's thoughts. I don't think EDK's review is fair. Yes, Mickey is struggling, and I would have liked more interaction in her personal life. Still, I like how she tells the story. Without much attention to her personal life, it leaves JM plenty of material for upcoming books. I don't think Mickey is whiny--I think it is realistic to what goes on in most of our heads with every day stresses. Mickey drinks some, but nothing like she did in her younger days. Again, completely plausible, with her background and history. Please JM, don't keep us waiting too long with her friends/Cordellia!!
Highly recommended new addition to the best lesbian noir detective series I have found. Flawed and struggling to pay her bills and make it through to another day, Mickey is so real you will expect to pass her at a poboy shop the next time you are in New Orleans.Excellent story, if you are a fan you need this one. If not, what are you waiting for, go get started on the series!
J. M. knows how to tell a tale and keep on spinning! The characters are beloved friends with all their quirks and secrets and insanity. I'd like to buy them all a drink and hang out. Mickey is deliciously flawed and real. I crave more from this fine author!
Love Mickey Knight!!! Just keeps getting better.
I have to apologize. In my review of J.M. Redmann's last book I said that the next was guaranteed to be better. Since "Better than Shoal Of Time" is a bar so low you could trip over it, I assumed that was safe to say. Unfortunately, Redmann doesn't fix her biggest problem, which is Micky Knight herself. She's still a drunk. Still whiny. Still feels sorry for herself and her horrible decisions, while doing nothing to fix it. It is impossible to be worse than Shoal of Time, but this book is certainly no better.I gave Shoal an overly generous 2 stars and figured no one could possibly go higher. If you are fortunate enough not to have read it, Redmann broke up Micky and Cordelia, eliminated the entire supporting cast, and turned Micky into a complete moron with all the detecting skill of a blindfolded chimpanzee. She bumbled her way through in a Clouseau like manner managing to thwart the bad guys without once demonstrating intelligence, good judgment, or common sense. The only mystery provided by Shoal of Time was how anyone could possibly enjoy it. It ended with Micky stealing human trafficking money so she could go to Australia! Fortunately the FBI are fine with her fleeing the country after an attempted bombing. They clear her of all wrongdoing without having her talk to anyone or even sign a statement. The entire book was horrible and more staggeringly unrealistic than I believed Redmann capable of being.Worst of all though was Shoal's treatment of Cordelia. After Ill Will's tender and loving finale wherein Micky and Cordelia pledged to fight the cancer together and never give up, Shoal opened with Micky having abandoned her completely because things were too hard. Cordelia is left to her own devices and Micky is only vaguely aware, or concerned, about whether she lived or died. After establishing a relationship between the two for seven books and nearly twenty years, Redmann gave Cordelia cancer and ended it in the most pathetic unlikable way possible. Third party interference is hinted at, but Micky is too stupid and uncaring to notice.Naturally I assumed this book would start repairing the damage. Nope. Nothing changes. Micky's still a self pitying whiner who makes no effort to repair the damage she caused. She just complains that everything is beyond her control. She says she can't go back but refuses to go forward in any meaningful way. Only one thing really changed from Shoal. In Shoal, she is with two different women, one of whom is obviously the bad guy. (Weirdly, a character in this book refers to her relationship with the human trafficker/terrorist as "a messy rebound." What?!) Here she is only seen on terrible blind dates. Not much of an improvement. Micky remains a self involved nincompoop who can't feel anything for anyone but herself.To be fair, this book is somewhat better than Shoal of Time. That book jarringly introduced these terrible qualities while this book merely continues it. If Redmann wanted to get rid of Cordelia, it would have been far better to have let her die. She could have gone out with love and dignity. Instead we are left with a heroine who abandoned her cancer stricken partner as she hovered on the edge of death and can only muster up self pity as a response. It's truly pathetic and renders Micky Knight utterly unlikable. Redmann may still plan to fix this, but dragging it out when there's 3 years between books is beyond frustrating.To be completely fair, if you have not read the other books and come to this one fresh, you will probably like it fine. The background of Micky's abandonment is only hinted at and not likely to affect your view of her as it is presented here. If you do know what happened in Shoal, it will be tough to get past.At one point in The Girl on the Edge of Summer, Micky says about love, "Miracles are rare, and I suspected I'd already got mine and had squandered it." Like her heroine, Redmann squandered the best opportunity she had in these books. Micky had always felt inferior to Cordelia in terms of social status, morality, family background, income...etc. After Cordelia's affair, Micky would have the moral high ground for the first time in her relationship. That would have been an interesting dynamic to play with. Instead, she immediately got cancer and was dropped like a hot potato, and we're left with an unlikable solo heroine.I couldn't feel any sympathy towards Micky. At one point in the book, Micky says she learned from Cordelia to remind people who are suffering about others around them who can be a support structure. That's especially jarring given Micky's failure at exactly that.On the plus side, Cordelia is apparently healthy again. You'd never really know she was sick listening to Micky's narration. She mentions the cancer precisely once and the fact that she beat it zero times. Cordelia's health is only one more thing for Micky to feel sorry for herself about. That and the fact that her friends are seeing Cordelia without telling her. Oh poor me again. She says at one point that she believes she made the wrong choice clinging to her job instead of her partner. She says, "I curse myself for my choices and wonder what I could have done better." The answer for both Micky Knight and J.M. Redmann is everything.On a positive note, the mystery is far stronger here than the one in Shoal of Time. In Shoal, Micky couldn't find an elephant in a phone booth. Short of tattooing "Bad Guy" on their foreheads the villains couldn't have been more obvious. I can't imagine a reader slower than Micky herself at figuring it out. Here, the story is far stronger. That is cold comfort though, given the unlikable hero.Cordelia was sick, suffering, dying, and Micky abandoned her. To go from the heartrending devotion of Ill Will to this really emphasizes how far this series has fallen. In any mystery, you have to like the hero. We read for the characters not the mysteries themselves. Who cares if fictional person A killed fictional person B? We care about Holmes, Marple, Nick and Nora, etc. The heroes and heroines make the series. Micky was never perfect,, but she was always sympathetic. Now, she abandoned her partner at her weakest and greatest pain and either can't or won't face up to that. We have now had two full books of her pitying herself and showing no regard for anyone else. If we can't like our hero, we don't care about the series. It's that simple.I still think it likely that Redmann intends to get Micky and Cordelia back together in future books, but that's become far less important to me as a reader since my opinion of Micky has plummeted so drastically. After Shoal of Time, I was desperate for Micky and Cordelia to get back together. Now, I think Cordelia deserves better.I really thought Redmann was better than this. Even a moment or two where Micky felt bad for someone other than herself or expressed happiness that Cordelia hadn't died would have been something. Instead she worries how awkward it might be running into her in the neighborhood. There was not one second of happiness at Cordelia's survival.The book ends with Micky vowing to get closer to her friends again and start living her life. She's joining a book club! Oh, goody! I just can't get past her abandoning Cordelia when she needed her most. In this book, Joanne tells Micky she is one of the most compassionate people she knows. And you know what? No. She's not. Feeling sorry for yourself and nothing for your partner does not qualify as compassion.In the final lines of the book, Micky says to herself, "No one loves you if you're an [expletive] jerk."Truer words were never spoken.[Note: My initially posted review was pulled as it was said to contain a profanity. The word in question was a direct quote from the book and I had blocked out 2 of the 7 letters in the word. I've removed it completely here, so the quote above beginning, "No one loves..." is now missing the word in question and not an accurate quote. I hope no one was bothered by my initial review, though I should point out the language in this book contains far worse and it is not censored.]
Glad to have the original Micky Knight back. Enjoyed this new addition to the series. Refreshing to encounter a protagonist that mirrors real life, i.e. our struggles, our joys, our regrets, our losses, our strivings. Character development very good - Micky continues to mature. The two cases - one present, one of the past - made for a compelling read. Well done. Hope there will be more.
I am a fan of all the books in the Micky Knight series. J M Redmann is a talented writer who knows how to tell a good story. She has given us characters whom I have come to care about. I trust in the author to take me on an interesting journey with them as they change and grow. She has not let me down. The Girl on the Edge of Summer is an engrossing and exciting mystery. It also adds to my understanding of Micky Knight and leaves me looking forward to her next adventure and the developments in her personal life.
