BOOK REPORT AND CHALLENGE WRAP UP.......

Femme - Bill Pronzini

Product Description
Inside cover
Femme fatale. French for "deadly woman."
  You hear the term a lot these days, usually in connection with noir fiction and film noir.  Brigid O"Shaughnessy in The Maltese Falcon. Cora in The Postman Always Rings Twice.  Phyllis Dietrichson in Double Indemnity.  Matty Walker in Body Heat.  Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct.  Scheming, sxually demanding wonen who ensnare their lovers in bonds of irresistible and destructive desire.  Lethal women.  Eve in the Garden, Jezebel, Salome, Cleopatra.
   But they're not just products of literature, film, the folklore of nearly every culture.  They exist in modern society, too.  The genuine femmes fatale you hear about now and then are every bit as evil as the fictional variety.  Yet what sets them apart is that they're the failures, the ones who for one reason or another got caught. 
   In the thirty years the Nameless Detective has been a private investigator, he has never once had the misfortune to cross paths with this type of seductress....but in Femme he'll meet Cory Beckett, a deadly woman who has brought some new angles to the species.  New---and terrible.

MY THOUGHTS: This was a short book and I enjoyed it very much.  Gave me a new perspective on what a Femme Fatale really is.  I have seen all the movies listed above but didn't quite get the idea they were that kind of female.  But this book put all this info into something I could understand.  Good book.  I give this book 4....

This is also a book for The Full House Reading Challenge.
