At the end of Season 6 of The L-Word, Jenny Schecter was found dead in the pool next door at Bette and Tina's house; who did it was not resolved, to much viewer dismay. This mystery novel identifies and tracks down Jenny's killer in an extremely satisfying way fans of the show will love and appreciate. [Necessary note: This novel in no way conflicts with the brand new re-boot of The L-Word Generation Q currently airing on the Showtime Network.]
It's Downton Abbey meets Broad City meets lesbian Charlie's Angels, a character study disguised as a murder mystery full of humor, sarcasm, and snark, featuring the most beloved L-Word characters. It's long (34 chapters), it's edgy, it's wordy (lesbians talk, talk, talk, which is not a bad thing, and they have a lot to say). No car chases, no running gun battles, nothing explodes. (Spoiler alert: no sex scenes, either. Horny yearning is a major plot point.) The L-Word's most beloved bad boi, Shane McCutcheon, and her jilted, bitter ex, the Spicy One, Carmen de la Pica Morales, team up with a new, original character, Det. Lauren Hancock (if she reminds you of Jessica Biel in your mind's eye, I can't disagree). These Three Alt-Musketeers track down the killer of that out-of-control bitch Jenny Schecter, because somebody's gotta do it. Bodies pile up (not in a good way) and there's plenty of suspects. People die.
Solving Jenny's murder may be the least important part of this story; most fans of the show grew to hate Jenny anyway. What L-Word fans REALLY want is maximum face time with all their other favorite L-Word characters, Shane and Carmen, and of course Alice Pieszecki and the gang: Bette, Tina, Helena, Kit, Carmen's scene-stealing mom, and two we loved to hate: Adele "All About Eve" Channing and Nikki "Lohan-Wannabe" Stevens. Fans want the drama, the relationships, the sizzle, the frisson, the sturm-und-drang. Romance. Will Carmen and Lauren...? Will Shane and Carmen...? Will Lauren and Shane...?
