"I’m a Walter Mosley fan — I have several signed copies of his books, mostly from his Easy Rawlins detective series — but Debbie Doesn’t Do It Anymore isn’t crime fiction. Or, at least it doesn’t seem that way at first. You see, Debbie Dare is a porn star. The book begins with a vividly described scene of what is, for many people, a pretty private moment — just not for Debbie. There is a crime in this book — several, in fact — and there’s also self-discovery, recrimination, retribution, reunions and sex — all kinds and many flavors of sex. If you’re at all curious about the inner workings of the porn industry, or if you’ve ever dreamed of doing a life makeover, give this novel a read."
