Book Reviews of Death By Pantyhose (Jaine Austen Mysteries)
Book Review: Pantyhose, Comedy and Murder
Summary: 5 Stars
Dorcas hires copywriter Jaine Austen to write stand-up comedy jokes for her act. Jaine soon finds that her feminist act isn't good and she throws pantyhose at the audience. But Jaine is desperate for work, so she sticks it out.
She'd gone for an interview with a large ad agency. She ended up missing the interview because of mistaken identity and gets her Corolla stolen to boot.
Vic, another comedian, is funny but very arrogant. Jaine dislikes how he humiliates Dorcas. Everyone is stunned when he introduces his new beautiful blonde agent and announces they're engaged, especially his current agent Manny and his girlfriend Allison.
When Vic is found dead with pantyhose around his neck, Dorcas is the prime suspect. Since Jaine has done some investigating in the past, she sets out to find the killer. There seem to be quite a few people who wanted him dead, providing for plenty of twists and turns.
Add in Andrew, Jaine's love, is in town for a short while, but Samantha, his ex-girlfriend at the bank is determined to keep them apart. Then there's always something going on with her parents.
This series is so much fun. I really like Jaine. Her parents are a hoot. The author did a great job of creating Vic to be someone just about everyone would want dead. Made it difficult to figure out the identity of the killer before it was revealed. Great job!
I highly recommend this great cozy series and this book in particular.
