Items related to Freeze My Margarita
Sam Jones is back, and she's still wearing rubber. A chance meeting in a fetish club with an old friend from art school, now set-designing, garners her a commission to create a series of mobiles for his latest production. Sam can't resist most things, and certainly not a challenge. Before you can say The Collected Works of Shakespeare she plunges into the world of the theatre. To her dismay she finds that the appalling Helen, girlfriend of Sam's best mate Janey, is a member of the cast; but there are many redeeming features, including an instant rapport with an enigmatic and acidly witty actor named Hugo, possessor of a Lord Peter Wimsey drawl, Hard Candy-varnished fingernails and a perfectly-formed bottom. Now if Sam could only be sure whether he was gay or not...This pressing question is only overshadowed by the discovery of a very dead body in the sump under the theatre. Sam by now is so accustomed to finding decomposing corpses that she's wondering whether she's the bastard lovechild of Scully and Mulder. As the mysterious deaths keep on coming and a practical joker starts to sabotage performances of the play, Sam barely has time to knock back a few frozen margaritas, sort out her sex life and save the man she loves in the midst of the maelstrom...

Review:
"Lauren Henderson is a star whose words, wit, and style are razor sharp. The only thing she can't do is write these books fast enough to keep me happy." --- Linda Fairstein, author of "Cold Hit" and "Likely to Die" "Not read Lauren Henderson yet? High time you started! There is a real freshness, verve and astringency about her." --- Colin Dexter, author of "The Remorseful Day" and "Death Is Not My Neighbor" "Lauren Henderson is too funny, too smart, too cute, and writes mysteries that are too compelling and witty. I hate her! However, even I can't help loving her smart and tarty detective/artist Sam Jones, a true original. I'll follow Sam anywhere." --- Sparkle Hayter, author of "Nice Girls Finish Last" and "The Last Manly Man" "From the Trade Paperback edition."

Lauren Henderson's sexy, streetw ise artist-cum-detective returns in Freeze My Margarita, the sequ el to her enormously popular Black Rubber Dress. A chance meetin g 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 av ant-garde production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Plunged into t he strange world of theater, Sam mingles with a bizarre, vexing, but often amusing cast of characters, including the appalling Hel en, the girlfriend of Sam's best friend Janey, and Hugo, an enigm atic and acidly humorous actor with a wry Peter Wimsey drawl and a perfectly shaped bottom. After a long string of disappointing b oyfriends, Sam may have finally met her match with Hugo. Now if s he could only figure out whether or not he's gay. This pressin g state of affairs is overshadowed only by the discovery of a dec omposing body in the basement beneath the theater. Sam, who's unf ortunately grown accustomed to stumbling across dead bodies, is h ardly fazed, but as the mysterious deaths increase and a practica l joker starts to sabotage performances of the play, Sam realizes that unless the killer is caught, she may be facing her own curt ain call.
