Pam Nilsen Series by Barbara Wilson
Pam Nilsen #1
Murder in the Collective
Barbara Wilson
Seattle printing collective owner Pam Nilsen is on the case when a member of the group turns up dead before a controversial mergerPam Nilsen and her twin sister, Penny, inherited Best Printing four years ago when their parents died in a car crash. Unwilling to sell their family legacy, the sisters turned it into a collective run by a cadre of activists whose arguments over the business can be just as impassioned as their support for progressive causes. But internal divisions at the collective pale in comparison to those between Seattle typesetters B. Violet and Moby Dick—once a single company that has since broken apart into an all-female (and lesbian-run) company, and an all-male (and quickly bankrupt) operation.Shortly after Best Printing and B. Violet begin discussing a merger, the offices of the typesetter are ransacked, one of their members nowhere to be found. Then an employee of Best Printing is found murdered. It appears as if someone will stop at nothing—not even murder—to prevent the merger. And it’s up to Pam to get to the bottom of this deadly turn of events before the killer strikes again.Murder in the Collective is the first book in the Pam Nilsen Mystery trilogy, which continues with Sisters of the Road and The Dog Collar Murders.*Review“The narrative is engrossing, evenly paced, and refreshingly unique.” —Booklist“The action never lets up, the writing is taut and smart, and every time a cute, pat solution for a situation arises, Wilson steers clear.” —Voice Literary Supplement“A strong, witty and very well-written book.” —Time Out London“A radical stab in the back for that tired old genre, the whodunit. We all did it, that’s the point of a collective.” —The ListenerProduct DetailsFile Size: 1049 KBPrint Length: 226 pagesPublisher: Open Road Media (November 12, 2013)Sold by: Amazon Digital Services, Inc.

September 13, 2000By A CustomerFormat:PaperbackI found this mystery on the sale shelf of a local bookstore. Even though the book was written over a decade ago it isn't dated. I enjoyed Barbara Wilson's characters and her infusion of geopolitics. Nothing felt contrived or cliche, which of course is rare for mysteries. I especially liked her sleuth Pam Nilson. The characters, dialogue and the plot all seemed logical. My only minor complaint would be with the climax, which seemed a bit of a letdown, but otherwise I can recommend this msytery.I look forward to reading other books in this series and also her other mystery series.

Pam Nilsen #2
Sisters of the Road
Barbara Wilson
When a teenage runaway is murdered and her best friend goes missing, Pam Nilsen must dig into the seedy underbellies of Seattle and Portland to discover the truthPam Nilsen, co-owner of Seattle collective Best Printing, is still recovering from the heartbreak of her first real girlfriend leaving town when she decides to take two young prostitutes under her wing. The girls, age fourteen, are already coarsened by the worlds of sex, drugs, and crime. When one turns up dead and the other, Trish, is nowhere to be found, Pam hits the streets to find her. Trish, a possible witness to murder, is in danger, but for a runaway child of the night, help is in short supply. Pam is Trish’s only hope—not just for her immediate survival, but for escaping the streets before they can devour her.Sisters of the Road is the second book in the Pam Nilsen Mystery trilogy, which begins with Murder in the Collective and concludes with The Dog Collar Murders.*Review“It is Pam’s capacity for caring about people that makes this novel so compelling. She is inexperienced in almost every aspect of her life: running a business, being gay, and routing out killers and child abusers. But her passionate commitment to people makes it impossible for her to give up on others or on herself. Wilson’s forte is depicting this extraordinary quality without letting its possessor appear to be a plaster saint. She portrays exactly how good and evil evolve from the needs and impulses of ordinary people.” —Independent PublisherProduct DetailsFile Size: 1042 KBPrint Length: 208 pagesPublisher: Open Road Media (November 12, 2013)Sold by: Amazon Digital Services, Inc.

Pam Nilsen #3
The Dog Collar Murders
Barbara Wilson
When an antipornography activist dies after a provocative speech, Pam Nilsen dives headlong into Seattle’s feminist community to uncover a murdererThe Seattle Conference on Sexuality is a lightning rod for controversy, with big politics and even bigger personalities descending on the city to discuss issues ranging from pornography to violence against women. Loie Marsh is one such personality, an outspoken critic of porn slated to speak on a panel about the subject. But before she can take her place on stage, Loie is found dead, strangled with a dog collar.Pam Nilsen, the co-owner of a progressive printing collective with significant connections in Seattle’s activist community, is uniquely positioned to investigate the murder. Suspects include a member of Christians Against Pornography, an S/M advocate who owned the dog collar used to commit the murder, a producer of erotic lesbian videos, and Loie’s ex-husband—not to mention her resentful ex-lover. It’s an unconventional whodunit, but one that Pam is more than ready to take on.The Dog Collar Murders is the final book in the Pam Nilsen Mystery trilogy, which begins with Murder in the Collective and Sisters of the Road*.Review“In this clever and illuminating third installment in a series, Wilson manipulates the detective/mystery genre to explore issues at the heart of feminist debate over sexuality, pornography and violence against women.” —Publishers Weekly“Although quick and entertaining reads, Wilson’s books are, to a greater extent than many more self-consciously literary works, novels of ideas—and of ideas important to feminism.” —The Women’s Review of Books“[Wilson is] the most adventurous of the new wave of feminist thriller writers.” —Feminist ReviewProduct DetailsFile Size: 889 KBPrint Length: 183 pagesPublisher: Open Road Media (November 12, 2013)Sold by: Amazon Digital Services, Inc.

September 3, 2001By Anselm de BeauvilleFormat:PaperbackBarbara Wilson: The Dog Collar MurdersThe book takes you back to those days of clear distinction between goodies and baddies, the Nicaragua solidarity movement and the ideological self-conscious feminist anti-porn activists of the 1980s. This side of the book is utterly amusing if you still remember how it then was. This feminist world's atmosphere of prudishness, sexual inhibition translated into anti-porn activity, the bigotry and fear of sex, the McCarthyish, almost fascist readiness to oppress other opinions by all means. It is amusing because this ideology never gained much power in society ' if it had, the book would be guilty of making things look more harmless than they were. However the book is meant to be a detective story. And as such it is utterly boring because one third of it are theoretical discussions that make the book look like a rather shallow essay on feminism and sexual exploitation and pornography etc. It is possible to mix detective stories with political messages. But it has to be very well done to be convincing. Read the books by Sjöwall/Waalhöö and T. Mankell (both are Swedish but widely translated) if you want to see what I mean.Wilson's story line is unrefined, the language unimaginative and schematic. Although the murderer is only predictable from about the beginning of the last third of the book, the final revelation does not satisfy ' because the personalities are so poorly drawn that they give no feeling for them as persons. And so unmasking on of them as murderer does not mean much 'even at this stage the person, i.e. after over 200 pp is not much more than a name on paper. Wilson in this book compares herself to Agatha Christie ' a bit presumptuous. A huge bit, actually.
