"The year is 1936, and Mae West has all of Hollywood wrapped around her little finger: a place many a man would kill to be. The legendary screen siren has, however, one critic - one with deadly fangs in place of a poison pen - who is knocking off Mae West impersonators along his way to the real thing." "But if there's one thing Mae West knows, it's that no no-account vampire is going to upstage Tinseltown's most celebrated vamp. Brought back larger than life as only George Baxt can do it, Mae herself takes charge of the investigation in an adventure brimming with her doubles and her double entendres. This time she's hoping he won't have a gun in his pocket, and that he won't be glad to see her." "Armed with glamour, gossip, and curves of every kind, Mae leaps headlong into a web of blackmail and corruption without so much as a trace of fear. Says Mae: "You don't know danger until you've faced the New York critics on an opening night." And when a Hallowe'en party at one of Hollywood's spookiest, seamiest clubs brings hunter and hunted together, it's no longer clear who is after whom." "What is clear, however, is that once Mae West gets in on the act, no sucker is safe."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved… (meer)

This book was ok. The main character is Mae West and someone is going around killing her impersonators. The killer also has a vampire bent. He kills people by making bite marks on their jugular and finishes the job with a knife to the heart. At times it's pure camp, much as you'd expect with Mae West. The author does do a good job of creating her world and vernacular. And if you've seen any of her movies you can hear her voice saying them in your head. The plot has Mae working with the police detectives to try and solve the murders. There have been two drag queens and one real lady impersonator who have been killed all with the same mo. And the murderer is not revealed until the last few pages and comes as quite a shock. The motives are explained but never really why the vampire connection to my satisfaction. ( )
