When Depression-era private eye Maggie Sullivan is invited to dine with a millionaire, she doesn't expect the first course to be a gun in her face. It draws her into a gold-plated web of theft, revenge, double crosses, and murder. A big-time swindle has made fools of some of the city's wealthiest businessmen.
The man behind it has vanished. When Maggie begins asking questions, he reappears - dead in the river. But she's already learned too much. Someone's out to silence her too. Armed with her .38 and a nip of gin, Maggie closes in on a killer as a mobster offers a hint, a cop unsettles her with his chemistry, and a woman with deadly potential plays a game by her own rules.

Tough Cookie (Audible Audio Edition) M Ruth Myers Mary Ann Jacobs Books Reviews
I love the Maggie Sullivan series! I was hooked from the start and this second one didn't disappoint. Being born and raised in Dayton it is a great way to not only take a trip home but also a trip back in time. I know the streets and places mentioned and it is written in a way that allows me to see them all in a whole new way. The time period and characters allow the reader to escape into the past and how things use to be and is such a nice change to some of the things we deal with and read about today. It is just good, fun who done it reading!
Maggie is surely one tough cookie. Maggie showed all her great detective skills some of which she learned growing up from her Dad who was a cop. She kept her story line well together.She'd described her characterson in great detail but still left plenty of room for your mind to be trying to figure out what would happen next. She was hired by Mr. Wildman to find the guy that swindled him and that didn't take long as he showed up dead within a few days after she was hired.She felt something still wasn't right and almost was killed due to that. She pushed until she got it figured out brining the reader into different scenes and characters. In the end I believe she brought the Wildman family together. Enjoyed the story and hope the next reader will. This is one in a series but it can stand alone.
Book encompasses a traditional storyline set in the late 1930s about a PI (much along the lines of a female "Mike Hammer" type) asked to locate the man whom swindled her client in a real-estate deal only to result in deadly consequences. Was actually the second book in the series but made for a good stand alone as well. I enjoyed the protagonist in Maggie Sullivan as she came across as believable, tho it was sometime hard to keep track of all the other characters' comings and goings which forced me to backpedal occasionally lest I loose direction of the plot. Book had a lot of descriptions about clothes, cars, houses, even what was eaten which some may like and others not (I found it didn't necessarily add much to the story but didn't distract all that much either). Overall, a good mystery that I feel earned a solid 3.5 stars rounded up.
Love Maggie Sullivan- she’s a tough chick with loads of common sense and street smarts. She’s a private detective in post WWII Ohio. M. Ruth Myers’ descriptive writing skills take me to the era of the clothing styles I love most, and show me a town where working class people live and love and need her skills occasionally. I love how she deals with her clients and with bad guys too - she doesn’t take any crap hahahahaha The other characters who surround her are also wonderful and remind me of people I know. This is my 3rd Maggie book, I’ll be buying another one today!
Tough Cookie by M. Ruth Myers
Maggie Sullivan pistol whips a breath of fresh air into the moldy corpse of the hard boiled dick. (No Snicker, come on, we are all adults here!) It is about time that the stalwarts like Travis McGee and Mike Hammer moved over for a broad with an attitude, a dame, a gat carrying, nylon wearing DAME! (Same intro as the last review of an M. Ruth Myers' Maggie Sullivan book but I still like it.)
Maggie's client has been swindled and he is not happy. He wants Maggie to find out what hole the dirty rotten rat has slithered into and drag him out by his slimy skinny tail.
Maggie, as usual, ends up butting heads with both authority and the nefarious villains. Equally as usual, her good heart, surrounds her with stalwart aides and companions.
The depths of the Great Depression flesh out the scenery in this book. The vernacular of the time is used but understandable. The mystery has sufficient depth to keep your attention and enough gritty realism to make it believable.
Connelly's revelations about Ireland add additional veracity to the book, brief as that revelation was. Myers does a good job making her characters breathe.
I recommend the book and look forward to seeing more of Maggie Sullivan.
I'll admit it -- I love Maggie Sullivan, in all the right ways. She's smart, independent, and tenacious. The library is her database, and surveillance is done without the aid of closed circuit cameras, yet she always solves the case. Maggie reminds me of the gal reporters and lawyers portrayed in "His Girl Friday," "The Front Page," "Smart Blonde" and "Torchy Goes to War," incarnated as a private investigator in pre-WW II Dayton, Ohio. Her independence is based on need -- her brother disappeared during the depsths of the Great Depression, both of her parents died, and she had to sell the family home to pay her father's final bills. Yet, when faced with a choice between keeping her independence or succumbing to the charms of Officer Connelly, the ginger-haired immigrant from the Emerald Isle, Maggie opts to continue standing on her own.
I have now read all the Maggie Sullivan mysteries, and wait with feigned patience for her next adventure. Please, Ruth Myers, could you find a way for Maggie let Connelly in without giving up her PI business?
