*** Dustin Hoffman as "Tootsie"
Thanks to all our lovely contestants in the first but not last Jungle Red Gender Quiz!
The photos below are not our lovely contestants--though who knows, they may be those "Anonymous" entrants who were too chicken to own up to their guesses. But here are the talented authors who wrote those difficult-to-gender-match excerpts.
Anyway, drumroll please...and Hank will open the envelopes.

Invisible Prey
I chose it because I thought you might be fooled by the flower and architecture references, and the concern about children.

Laura Lippman
What the Dead Know
I chose this because she thought it sounded tough, And kind of--cold. That's not a bad thing. It's just not "feminine."
Quote #3
John Katzenbach
The Madman'sTale
Hallie chose this--maybe because it's through a woman's eyes? And seems compassionate?
Quote #4
Carol O'Connell
Find Me
Also Hallie's choice--maybe because it's gritty and gory, and has animals in danger? Not a "woman-y" thing to do.
Quote #5
Alafair Burke
Close Case
Rosemary's selection--because she thought it didn't sound "girly."
So how'd you do? And when you "missed," what made you choose the gender you chose?

And those of you who checked out the quiz but didn't enter--we have stat counter, so we can tell you're all out there, you know--Okay, you're shy. Or, as we said, chicken.
But did you get it right? Or were you surprised?
