"A First-Rate Launch of a Drag Queen Mystery Series We All Need Now More Than Ever!"--Alison GaylinGlam artist Jem Richard loved making New Orleans' society mavens feel beautiful-- but doesn't like being stiffed. He reluctantly agrees to help with the make-up for the fall fashion show for the House of Mercereau, but demand payment up front after what happened the last time--when designer Marigny Mercereau's check bounced. But no one warned him before he arrives, brushes and make-up palettes in hand, that the models he'll be working on are drag queens! Pressed into service when one of the queens doesn't show Jim wows the crowds and slays his fellow queens with his style and presentation on the runway. But between trips down the runway (and tequila shots for courage), Jim starts noticing bits and pieces of conversations and arguments showing all is not well behind the scenes of the House of Mercereau, and everyone seems to want Marigny dead. When her body is discovered the next morning, Jim finds himself in the sites of a killer! Jim puts on his best Shirley Holmes deerstalker cap and starts tracing the clues to help that handsome police detective--who may or may not be flirting with him--catch the killer before the killer catches Jem.The Golden Notebook Bookstore has been Woodstock New York's fiercely independent bookstore for over close to fifty years.
