Sex, drugs, murder, and a lot of laughs are what make it hard to put down the latest work of fiction by LR Penn. Collision Course examines various facets of the American dream, contrasting the lifestyle inside the white picket fence with the fantasy world out in the fast lane. Three women are waging a 21st century version of the battle of the sexes as they search for personal fulfillment, but their intertwined lives are irreparably changed by a suspicious suicide. The novel’s heroine, an alienated slacker with a strong libido, decides that she needs to get to the bottom of the mysterious death, and it is she who opens a Pandora’s box from which bursts forth a whirling maelstrom of greed, adultery, and homicide. Despite a fast moving plot with an emphasis on suspense, eroticism, and irreverent humor, the narrative is richly textured and intellectually provocative. By the end of the book, who did what has been made clear, but the lines between hero and victim and villain have become blurred.
