The War is over, but only just, and San Francisco is still crammed with military uniforms. Of course, being San Francisco, its also crammed with Bohemians (in a few years, theyll be known as Beatniks). Noel Bruce straddles both camps: By day shes a straight-laced driver for the Navy, but at night she lets her hair down and parties with her flamboyant art-school chums. The party comes to a screeching halt, however, when a dead body turns up in a sculptors studio, and the artists discover that pretentious mannerisms and amusing facial hair provide little defense against the chill of fear. As in Skeleton Key, the heroine is a working woman, and, like all of Offords novels, My True Love Lies provides an intriguing bridge between old-fashioned, 1930s-style plotting and a kind of feminism that feels startlingly up-to-date.
