Atria, 1991-11-01. Hardcover. Very Good. 0671736574 From Publishers Weekly Chagrined because she has to watch "a lot of flesh jiggle up and down a runway" (i.e., cover the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City, N.J.) Samantha Adams, star reporter for the Atlanta Constitution , returns in this colorful mystery by the author of the jocular Now Let's Talk of Graves . When one of the pageant judges disappears, Adams again plays amateur sleuth on the hunch that the judge is a homicide victim. The problem is, nobody cares if he's missing or dead. A roue, the judge was detested by the contestants he propositioned, the girlfriends he battered and the loan shark to whom he owed big bucks. The local police don't consider Sam's suspicions evidence, so she recruits her friends, a voodoo-priestess beauty contestant and an ex-football pro turned chef to prove that the judge is a missing corpse. As Miss America hopefuls strut their stuff, Sam learns that a sociopath views the pageant as a cash cow with one too many judges. Shankman's witty heroine again evinces a winning combination of grit and finesse. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Exaggeration plays a role in Shankman's novel, too, where larger-than-life characters share witty remarks and hectic background. Series journalist/sleuth Samantha "Sam" Adams journeys to Atlantic City to cover the Miss America Pageant for her Atlanta paper. At least two different parties are trying to "throw" the pageant, however, so Sam's interviews with contestants, former Miss Americas, and judges uncover some disturbing details. As Sam divides her time between investigating and her visiting New Orleans beau, constant commotion reigns. An amusing romp. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

She Walks in Beauty (A Samantha Adams Mystery, #4): A beauty pageant turns ugly when a judge is murdered in this mystery featuring a `witty heroine [with] a winning combination of grit and finesse` (Publishers Weekly). The star reporter for the Atlanta Constitution, Samantha Adams bristles at the thought of covering this year`s Miss America Pageant-but at least she`ll get to take her boyfriend, Harry, on a trip to Atlantic City. Getting the inside story on the pageant business, Sam encounters some larger than life characters. But one of the judges, Kurt Roberts, is notably absent. So why does no one seem to care As Sam gets into the grime beneath the showbiz glamour, it becomes clear that Kurt had a talent for making enemies. Hitting on contestants, abusing his girlfriend, and holding out on loan sharks were just a few of his hobbies. And as Sam uncovers a plot to throw the contest, she`ll need all her Southern grace and journalistic poise to foil a killer`s crowning achievement. Englisch, Ebook.
