Review
"Burlesque is the background . . . [and] the background is perfect. Recommended for the readers who feel better when their eyebrows are raised." ―The New Yorker
"[Lee's] novel is a rich and lusty job, brimming over with infectious vitality and a hilarious jargon of her own." ―Life
"A lurid, witty and highly competent detective story . . . Rich show business vocabulary and stage door gags make her book almost a social document. . . . The G-String Murders build up to a hair-raising climax." ―Time
