Killer Wore Leather: A Mystery by Laura Antoniou

4.0

This book was a fun read. I've been reading a lot about the BDSM lifestyle and community in the past few years, and this was another fun glimpse at a much different world than I live in. It read like a spoof, but a loving spoof, with a good mystery, that kept me guessing til the very end. I admit that keeping some of the characters, especially the judges and contestants, separate could be challenging at times (Kelly? George? Blade? who knows?). But other characters were vivid and fairly likable, like the police detectives on the job and the two Jacks. there was some sweet romance (Binky!) and plenty of kinkery, all told with an affectionate light handed touch. the cast was relatively diverse in age, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, religion, and kink/ lack thereof. I started reading this while at a (work) conference--while they were much different experiences, it was a good setting for putting myself in that conference mindset. I would definitely give this author another try, especially if she wrote more mysteries, and recommend this for an enjoyable, interesting fun read.
