The Case of the Missing Drag Queen by Michael Rupured
3.0
3.5*
A good look back to 1982, easy to read and flowed along nicely. The author has written other books set in the recent past and all ring true.
Luke, our main protagonist, is pulled into investigating the disappearance of drag queen Ruby Dubonnet by fellow drag queen Pixie.
Pixie certainly is the catalyst amongst a cast of others that help Luke grow up as he is forced into investigating. There are lots of circles within circles as Luke and Pixie find more people who know Ruby, who are related or went to school woth each other or kids do. So the culprits for kidnapping Ruby and the reasons are varied.
I did think I knew who got the suitcase but was wrong on that score.
It was a gentle story in that there wasn’t major drama and the songs the queens perform to are all blasts from the past.
Luke and Pixie become firm friends and odd couple whilst not being romantically involved. The last chapters deal with Luke finding his ‘family’ and a potential date but I don’t get good feels from the possibilities.
