Lesbiana...

107. THE FIFTH CALLER BY HELEN NIELSEN. WORROW, 1959

108.

DR. LILLIAN WHITEHALL, METAPHYSICIAN, IS FOUND BRUTALLY MURDERED AND ALL EVIDENCE POINTS TO HER ASSISTANT DR. ANNA BARDOSY. ANNA, A HUNGARIAN REFUGEE, OWES HER FREEDOM FROM PRISON TO DR. WHITEHALL. FIVE PEOPLE VISITED DR. WHITEHALL ON HER LAST DAY ON EARTH AND ONE OF THEM KILLED HER. AS EACH PERSON IS INTERVIEWED AND GIVES THEIR OPINION OF THE DEAD WOMAN, A CAREFULLY DRAWN PICTURE OF A VERY REPRESSED LESBIAN APPEARS. SHE HAS CHAINED ANNA TO HER AND KEPT HER CAPTIVE THROUGH ANNA'S SENSE OF GRATITUDE. THE DOCTOR IS PICTURED AS A MAN-HATER, DOMINEERING, FORCEFUL, ETC. AS WELL AS LOOKING QUITE MASCULINE. NOT A SYMPATHETIC TREATMENT, BUT A VERY WELL PLOTTED AND WELL WRITTEN MYSTERY, SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN MOST LIBRARIES.

THE KING MUST DIE BY NARY RENAULT. PATHEON BOOKS, INC. 1958.

A RETELLING OF THE THESEUS LEGEND, IN LIGHT OF MODERN HISTORICAL AND ARCHEOLOGICAL FINDINGS. THE HERO IS SEEN THROUGH THE ELEUSIAN CUSTOMS, THE CRETAN BULL-DANCES AND FINALLY BECOMES LIBERATOR OF ATHENS AND SLAYER OF THE MINOTAUR. OLD GRECIAN WAYS ARE PRESENTED WITH FULL COLOR AND VIVIDNESS, WHILE AFFECTIONS AMOUNG MEMBERS OF THE GIRL'S BULL-FIGHTING TEAM ARE SEEN WITH A CANDOR AND UNDERSTANDING THAT IS ADMIRABLE.

109. A SHOT IN THE DARK BY DAVID GARNETT. LITTLE, BROWN, 1959.

ROBERT REJECTED BY THE LESBIAN CAROLINE, GOES TO A SMALL ITALIAN VILLAGE. HE MEETS AND FALLS IN LOVE WITH GEMMA. HE DISCOVERS VESTIGES OF A CULT WORSHIPPING THE GODDESS DIANA AND FINDS THAT GEMMA IS PART OF THE CULT. IN ORDER TO HIDE GEMMA'S LESBIAN PAST FOR HER SAFETY HE IS FORCED TO LEAVE HER ALONE AND RETURN TO THE UNITED STATES. WHEN HE RETURNS HE FINDS HER IN THE ARMS OF HIS EX-GIRL CAROLINE. FILLED WITH INTRIGUES, ETC. THIS STILL IS A WELL-DONE RCMP BY A TALENTED AUTHOR. VERY OVERT, VERY SOPHISTICATED.
