The G-String Murders (Femmes Fatales) Paperback – June 1, 2005

What a fantastic character! Gypsy Rose Lee even hosted her own TV show!And her live, on stage act wouldn't put the guys to sleep like today's kids do!

Interesting mystery, surprisingly complex, authentic atmosphere from an author who knew the world of burlesque.

Wish she had written more than three books. Her two mystery novels are fun romps, and we know how her book Gypsy lives on.

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.

YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK, IF YOU LIKED THE MOVIE QUEEN OF BURLESQUE WITH BARBARA STANWICK. THE BOOK WAS AS GOOD AS THE MOVIE. I HAVE LOANED IT OUT TO A 23 YR OLD AND A 89 YR OLD, SO IT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME. IT BRING YOU REALLY BACKSTAGE AND HOW IT REALLY WAS.

Great book, great seller

An interesting book written by an inexperienced but intelligent Gypsy Rose Lee. It' hard to follow the story line with all the characters she introduces at different times in the story. It's very choppy, seems to omit information necessary to understanding the flow of events and leaves the reader wanting much more character development. With that said, I did enjoy reading the book if only because it was the first novel from a legend.

Keep in mind that G-String was written 70 years ago--in the style and voice of another era. I must admit, I was bored sometimes and skimmed a lot until I reached the end. Very chatty dialogue, frequent humor. I did enjoy Gypsy's take on the strippers' world--written by a woman who lived the life.

i loved this book!

Different cover art but gorgeous book

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.
