Book Overview

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 This description may be from another edition of this product.

They Keep Getting Better and Better

In this installment of the Jaine Austen mystery series, Jaine is hired by a comedienne, Dorcus MacKenzie, as a joke writer. Dorcus used pantyhose to throw at the crowd at the end of her act. Unfortunately for Dorcus, her rival who is also her ex-husband, is violently murdered with pantyhose. Jaine comes to the rescue again with lots of humorous scenes before she solves the murder. You will love Death by Pantyhose.

A Pure Delight

I was delighted to discover a new entry in the Jaine Austen series. Every book has been fun, full of plot twists and engaging characters. "Death By Pantyhose," a comic parody of Hollywood behavior and mores, provides a wonderful escape from the harsh realities of today's world. It's highly recommended for anyone who wants a good mystery--or simply a good laugh. And how can you not love a book dedicated to a beloved cat?...

Jaine is back with more laughs!

This book was great! Prozac and her diet of mackerel guts, Jaine's obsession with food (so funny) and the witty emails from her parents are all back with tons of laughs. I love how the author refers to Jaine's ex in every book as "The Blob". It's such a funny name and description and I love the familiar references in every book of the series. It's like hanging out with your best friend again and again. Levine is such a funny...

Kudos.....again!

I won't do a synopsis as the previous reviewers have already done a good job at that. I'll just say how much I enjoyed the latest in the Jaine Austen series by Laura Levine. The characters are all such characters! And I can relate to so much of Jaine's angst I feel like we'd be friends. With all the potential suspects, the mystery keeps you guessing and with out-loud laughs on each and every page it's another winner. ...

Stand-Up Comedy is Murder

After what starts out as a great day turns very sour, Jaine finds herself desperate for a job. Any job. That's why she agrees to write jokes for stand-up comic at much lower then her normal rate. Dorcas's act is really just a feminist diatribe that ends with her throwing pantyhose into the audience. Needless to say, it needs lots of work, and Jaine is wondering what she got herself into. While getting to know Dorcas,...
