PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
London drag queen Misty Divine (aka Joe Brown) tries to track down a missing man in Stars's breezy sequel to Murder in the Dressing Room. An out-of-place customer at Soho's Lady Bar turns out to be a private eye with an urgent message for Misty. The PI gets stabbed on his way to deliver it, but he manages to croak out "find Jeremy" before dying. Though Misty's boyfriend Miles and Lady Bar owner Mandy don't want her to get in harm's way, and though Misty is worried that the dead man's message might be connected to drag queen Auntie Susan's shady scheme to keep Lady Bar out of the hands of a corporate buyer, Misty feels obliged to investigate. She soon learns that Jeremy is an American photographer, and finding him puts her in the crosshairs of a frightening London megachurch. Stars's drag queen characters are brash and bold, but they skirt caricature because the author never loses sight of the ways they wield their drag personas to boost their own self-confidence. Readers seeking a well-executed, queer-centered mystery will have fun with this one.
