What is Death Wore a Smart Little Outfit about?
BACK IN PRINT AT LAST! The first of Orland Outlands hilarious Binky and Doan comedy mysteries finds our intrepid heroine (and hero in a dress) pulled into art world murders, high society divorces, international intrigue, and other bothersome events that keep getting in the way of a life of leisure. Life in San Francisco is pretty sweet for our heroes Binkys little trust fund check pays her rent, but doesnt cover lifes necessities like Dom Perignon and raspberry tarts. Doans many part time jobs all pay something, but without a little help from those on the financial rungs above him, how would he get that new haute couture frock? A little sleuthing on the side is nice work if you can get it, and if true romance with a hot cop and a bad boy artist comes their way, too, whats a little mortal danger from a serial killer, compared to having to work a real job? Critical applause for the Binky/Doan series: Has the feel of a darker, tangier Tales of the City, a comedy of manners with a murder plotDoan is shrewd, sophisticated, exquisitely tasteful and more than a little bitchyAnd his sidekick, a down-at-the-heels debutante named Binky Van de Kamp, is a perfect match for him. I was reminded
