Killing paparazzi

Nina Zero rocks! In this book, the second in a series (after SHOOTING ELVIS), Nina gets out of prison and needs to keep her nose clean or her tough PO will violate her. (Typical of this book, the parole officer is a complex and likable tough lady who isn't on stage a lot, but when she's there, she's real.) Nina makes an arranged marriage and finds herself attracted to the guy in spite of herself--and then he's murdered. Even minor characters in this book are drawn in indelible originality. But most of all--Nina Zero is a knock-out character! Smart, scarred by life, funny as hell, fast on her feet, full of feeling and hard as nails. I know next time someone wonders whether men can write convincing female characters, Eversz's Nina Zero will be my Exhibit A.
