Fiction. Mystery. HTML:I'm crazy about Laura Levine's mystery series. Her books are so outrageously funny. --Joanne Fluke

Freelance writer Jaine Austen has never been able to resist the siren call of an Eskimo Pie, just like she can't resist renewing her romance with Andrew, an old crush. With her bank account hitting new lows, she's also just agreed to write jokes for Dorcas, a stand-up comic who throws her pantyhose into the audience as a punch line.

Not only is Dorcas's act a bomb, she is heckled by Vic, a gorgeous fellow comic. Naturally when Vic is murdered with Dorcas's pantyhose and that same Dorcas is standing over his dead body, the police arrest...Dorcas. They figure it's an open-and-shut case, although Jaine figures no killer can be that dumb.

But when Jaine sets out to find the real culprit, she is distracted by one dating disaster after another with Andrew--and she may not see the dark side of comedy until she faces the business end of a gun and a cold, deadly grin...

"Fun. . .Jaine's dogged sleuthing and screwball antics will entertain fans of this fizzy series." --Publishers Weekly.

In this sixth book in the Jaine Austen mystery series, writer Jaine Austen falls on tough times and is forced to take a not so lucrative gig writing jokes for an unfunny stand up comedian whose punchline is pantyhose. Unfortunately, someone turns up dead and Jaine feels obliged to help find the killer. Also, while Jaine’s love life is heating up, her nemesis and competition is out for blood (I absolutely cackled at some of the scenes in this one.) As always, Prozac the cat and Jaine’s emails to her parents make for wonderful interludes between the sleuthing.

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader. ( )

I had anecdotal based feedback about this book, and it wasn't good. I thought this book will disappoint but in fact it's one of the best mysteries I've ever read. While writing it's difficult to make a clue blend in with red herrings. Imagine how difficult it is to disguise a clue as a joke. That's awfully tough to pull off. I now feel that Laura Levine can do no wrong. The entire whole shift stick thing and the red hair incident were brilliantly thought of. The fact that this book scored even more than the last two book in the series is a big surprise. It did go that extra mile. ( )
