Book Description

June 1, 1997
First in a new mystery series with an outrageously funny hook--a drag queen detective! Doan McCandler, San Francisco's best dressed detective, is a Sherlock Holmes in high heels. His stunning sidekick Binky is Watson with a waistline. Together, they make a killer ensemble of amateur sleuths so smart and sassy, readers will just die!

5.0 out of 5 stars You know, sometimes I'm just not in the mood for Tolstoy., April 5, 2002
By 
This review is from: Death Wore a Smart Little Outfit (Paperback)
At those moments, I thank heaven and assorted authors and publishers for mind candy like this charming little book. As light and breezy as Doan in a chiffon party dress with matching pumps, "Death Wore a Smart Little Outfit" prompts you to laugh, roll your eyes, and rethink your wardrobe and eating habits, all while enjoying a fictional visit to the quirky, laid-back, sexually diverse wonderland that is San Francisco. I've read all three of the Doan and Binky books, and although they all amuse, this frothy little thing is the best of the lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Silly, Pointless, FABULOUS, September 2, 2000
By 
Terry Haley (Toluca Lake, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death Wore a Smart Little Outfit (Paperback)
Thank Goddess we live in an age when a writer can set out to do nothing but amuse -- and aim for that limited section of the population who see drag queens and vapid socialites as the indispensible archetypes they are. I've seen more complicated stories on "Full House", but it is perfectly excusable when said story is delivered with such sequin-sparkly dialoge and a characterization so sharp it's as if Charles Busch has materialized in your room to play it for you as you read. Thank you, Mr. Outland.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulously Well Written, January 26, 2000
This review is from: Death Wore a Smart Little Outfit (Paperback)
The first book I've read by Outland, Death Wore a Smart Little Outfit provides the style of reading that makes it a must-read page turner . Even when I wasn't reading the book, I was still thinking about the characters. I am intrigued by the character development and enjoy the adventures!
