An in-the-buff zing to the small town murder story

While far too sexy to be called a cozy mystery, Drama Queen adds an in-the-buff zing to the normally staid, small community murder story.
I love that the author is also an experienced actor and drama instructor. His grasp of improvs Yes AND? concept shines in this story. Every time the characters recognize a clue, you can feel the unspoken Yes AND? right before the plot takes a new twist.
Nicky and Noah are two sexy leading characters who conduct the investigation this comedic caper with wit and style. The supporting cast can only have been built on the follies and foibles of real drama students and instructors.
The narrator delivered on the fast paced humor, the character nuances, and sheer entertainment. Its a rare jewel when you can hear the narrator actually smile while delivering the lines, and I heard it several times.
WONDERFUL READ

Any additional comments?
I have to admit that I really loved this book. Mystery books with a healthy dose of humor is one of my absolute favorites. Murder, sex and theater oh my. The setting for this book is in the academic world of acting. The characters, while at times a bit one dimensional, were interesting. While this a LGBT mystery book, it still has all you need for a most enjoyable ride.
A fun dramatic comedy.
Nicky Abbondanza is at the center of this murder mystery. Set on the Treemeadow college campus that focuses on the theater arts, there are plenty of characters that are literally trained in the arts of deceit, deflection, deception, and out right artful lies. Its going to be tough to figure out who is racking up the bodies. And then there is Noah Oliver, an assistant professor who is up for tenure. every time Nicky sees Noah, his heart does a little flip.
As you can tell by the name of the series (A Nicky & Noah Mystery) these two eventually team up. First, we have to go through all the cutsy stuff of them figuring out that they like each other. That was pretty sweet. Once their romance is off and running, it moves really quickly. In fact, that is probably one of the things that I found a bit silly about the plot.
