Tattoo Shop Mystery

review 1: I picked this one up at a library sale, specifically because of the tattoo shop setting. Most "cozy" mysteries are in small towns or involve B&Bs... settings that I'm just not into. But this one is in Las Vegas and the plot involves drag queens... how can that not be fun?! And it was a pretty good read and reasonably well plotted. Some things got a bit repetitive and there was some stereotyping (both for drag queens and tattoo artists/canvases). But the criminal elements were much bigger than I expected of a novel of this type. If you're into "cozies" and want a slightly different spin on the "who done it", this is good option.
review 2: I had read and hated the first book in this series, but received this second one from someone else, so I figured I'd give it ... morea try... this one was SO much better than the first..the characters really developed and became realistic people. The mystery was more intriguing and the developing relationship between Brent and rival tatoo artist Jeff was the highlight of the book. He's perfect for her and she can't see it...hopefully they hook up by the end of the series. less
