The Halston Hit ~ book release by Angela M. Sanders

Posted by Angela on 13 May 2016 8 Comments

The Halston Hit, book cover

Headed to the beach? Can't handle any more political jabber? Need something to read in the bathtub? The Halston Hit, by NST's Angela, may be the answer. It's $3.99 on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and iBooks. (Paperback to follow.)

Here's the book's teaser:

Hemmed in by danger

As vintage clothing store owner Joanna Hayworth blissfully awaits her wedding a week away, her only challenge is to find the right dress. Then she discovers a dead drag queen among the sequined gowns and frothy wigs of the Fille Fantastique pageant. She does her best to help the police maneuver the social minefield of the drag world, until the dead queen’s “ghost” reappears, accusing her of the murder.

To clear her name, Joanna must investigate the strangely impassive family running a funeral home; a rival drag queen who’s gone AWOL; the obsessive proprietor of the queen’s favorite watering hole; and the mole-like man who lives in the cabaret’s basement. If Joanna’s not careful, her wedding will turn out to be a funeral.

      I had so much fun writing this one! Drag queens, an old funeral home, a kind of gothic turn at the end–it was so much fun.

      The book’s with the interior designer right now getting formatted, so the paperbacks aren’t far behind. Thank you!

      The cover designer is really good. See the Adam’s apple on the cover model’s neck? She’s a drag queen.

    Hello Angela, got it on Kindle over the weekend – almost finished. Brilliant as usual, probably my favourite of the Joanna Hayworth bunch, and I have them all 🙂 . And happy to see Apple back, after a short break on the Schiapparelli one!
    Thanks a lot, I always enjoy your writing!

      I’m so glad you like it! I always get a little thrill when I know that someone squeezed some entertainment out of my stories. Thank you! xo
