150. "The Gigolo Murder" by Mehmet Murat Somer

The Gigolo Murder by Mehmet Murat Somer is set in two locales that might be exotic and unfamiliar to most readers (as they were to me): Istanbul, Turkey, and specifically its drag culture. Our narrator, a computer hacker by day, hosts a drag club by night. No sooner does she become infatuated with a wealthy lawyer than his brother-in-law is arrested for murdering a minibus driver and gigolo. Our intrepid heroine, who models her wardrobe choices on Audrey Hepburn's movie attire, sets out to investigate.

This is a fun, delightfully campy read. I plan to read the first in the series, The Kiss Murder, and I hope for more entries, although the fact that both titles are remaindered on Amazon (and I picked this one up in the $1 bin at Borders) doesn't seem auspicious.
