Narrating the twisted tale of a backstage double murder, Gypsy Rose Lee, the queen of the striptease, provides a tantalising glimpse into the underworld of burlesque theatre in 1940s America. When one performer is found strangled with a G-string, no one is above suspicion. A host of clueless coppers face off against the theatre's tough-talking guys and dolls, and when a second murder occurs, it's clear that Gypsy and her cohorts will have to crack the case themselves. A dazzling and wisecracking murder mystery noir that was the basis of the 1943 film Lady of Burlesque, starring Barbara Stanwyck.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kind of hard to stay with
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2006

I love that the Women Write Pulp people have reprinted this title. When I was a girl Gypsy had already hung up her G-string, but I loved Gypsy's talk show. My parents were slightly alarmed, but I found her amazing in a way I couldn't put words to at that age - brassy, ballsy, and uncowed I would say now. But I found this mystery very tough to get through. The writing left a lot to be deisred and unlike some other pulps it doesn't move along very well. Still I love that it's out there and it's historical/hystorical value makes it worth a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delicious Mystery.
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2005
This is a highly entertaining vintage mystery. The re-release features an afterward by Rachel Shteir, who wrote the wonderful "Striptease--The Untold History of the Girlie Show". The plot is semi-autobiographical, which lends it an authenticity that most pulp fiction lacks. I was a bit prepared for some of the details, having read the autobio "Gypsy" previously. The cover art is a reproduction of some original art, which makes it a nice book all around. A great book to read poolside in Las Vegas wearing your best movie star sunglasses.

Gypsy Rose Lee war in den 40ger Jahren eine bekannte Striptease-Tänzerin in den USA.
Und sie war intelligent, kritisch und am Erwerb von Bildung interessiert. Zeitweise lebte sie in einem linken Intellektuellen-Milieu.
Aufmerksam wurde ich auf Gypsy Reode Lee durch das Buch "VULVA" von Mithu M. Sanyal.
Dort geht es auf mehreren Seiten um Gypsee Rose Lee.
