Killer Wore Leather: A Mystery by Laura Antoniou
5.0
By the time I was halfway through, I'd sent a copy to a friend. This clever book reads like a roman a clef to anyone who has ever been to a nerdy convention of any sort and I'm confident that many if not most of my friends would enjoy it for Antoniou's sheer ability to capture a subculture.
I have a nitpick or two with the mystery itself, thought it is better thought-out than many I've read. Also, as a Washingtonian, I have to point out that the "Organization with an acronym that spells something dirty/silly" joke is WAY old. The sex is sexy enough, but there's a scene where someone is getting a pair of shoes shined that did it for me almost more. But while the sex scenes and the mystery plot itself aren't in any sense neglected, this is fundamentally a comic novel and it works as one.
Good book.
