Description
Sam Jones is back! Lauren Henderson's sexy, streetwise artist-cum-detective returns in Freeze My Margarita, the sequel to her enormously popular Black Rubber Dress. A chance meeting in a fetish club with an old friend from art school leads to a new sculpting job for Sam: creating a series of mobiles for an avant-garde production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Plunged into the strange world of theater, Sam mingles with a bizarre, vexing, but often amusing cast of characters, including the show more appalling Helen, the girlfriend of Sam's best friend Janey, and Hugo, an enigmatic and acidly humorous actor with a wry Peter Wimsey drawl and a perfectly shaped bottom. After a long string of disappointing boyfriends, Sam may have finally met her match with Hugo. Now if she could only figure out whether or not he's gay... This pressing state of affairs is overshadowed only by the discovery of a decomposing body in the basement beneath the theater. Sam, who's unfortunately grown accustomed to stumbling across dead bodies, is hardly fazed, but as the mysterious deaths increase and a practical joker starts to sabotage performances of the play, Sam realizes that unless the killer is caught, she may be facing her own curtain call. show lessTags

These are pure delicious crack. I read this series back in high school and loved them, and they stand up to a reread. Sam is a highly-sexed sculptor who has a tendency to get involved in murder investigations. I really like her, and I really like her stories, which are funny, sexy *and* filled with suspence.
Almost 4 stars. It's a entertaining romp of a chase for Sam who is hired to created mobiles for a reprise of Midsummer night dream. The actors, the director, the theater's people are all locked in a who did what and why struggle. Sam gets caught by the drama and kinda find someone who matches her wit and dry humor. It's a fun read, the fauna of the theater is well done. The culprit is not who I thought it was and it also wasn't an unlikely suspects. So win-win. A good plot, good atmosphere and cool characters. Not 4 stars because of the repetitive use of Johnny Cash's Boy named Sue. It felt pasted on like in a bad song fic.
