PRAISE FOR LAUREN HENDERSON AND THE SAM JONES SERIES “Wickedly funny . . .”—New York Times Book Review “Sharply intelligent. . . . Hipper than hip.”—Denver Rocky Mountain News Sexy, savvy sculptor-turned-sleuth Sam Jones attracts trouble like she does men. When her sculpture Thing III is unveiled at a swank reception in the atrium of a London bank, a dead body crashes the party. From there, events take a distinctly dangerous turn. Our rubber-clad heroine hardly suspects that in a few days she’ll be embroiled in a hot affair with a BMW-driving, Kensington-dwelling stockbroker—the shame of it! Forced to hang out with a pair of spoiled, anorexic rich girls and their unsavory entourage of “friends” as she unravels the facts behind the murder, Sam finds herself unwillingly pulled into a twisted world of drugs, blackmail, and trust funds—one that seems to spell disaster for high society’s darlings. By the end of the week even the usually tough-as-nails Sam is running scared. She needs to get to the bottom of it all—before she turns up dead herself.

Murder by Mobile Art Installation? The young hip artist who just installed her creation at the posh offices of a London bank wants to prove she is not at fault, and takes the investigation in her own hands. FYI :She is wearing the black rubber dress at the party for the unveiling of her work. Light and breezy read.

New read! Funny thing happened. I now have three murder mysteries on rotation! This one takes place in London. The other two locales are Dublin and Australia! #readingroundtheworld

Pickpick

A transition book for the series. A banker is found dead under Sam's sculpture at his engagement party. There are many layers to the plot, a bunch of red herrings but ultimately the resolution of the plot is fine. Sam gets a little wild and dirty with her banker lover while figuring out who used her art to kill a man. Fun and quirky although this one tried a little too hard to add a 'Less than Zero' vibe (sex, drug and the high life). 💖
