Items related to Freeze My Margarita: A Sam Jones Novel
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 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.

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
