Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

When tough-minded sculptor Sam Jones wakes up handcuffed and chained in a cellar full of damp and cockroaches, she spends the hours between Nescafé and vegemite sandwiches trying to work out how she has got here. Chained! is another outing for Henderson's incident-prone heroine, one in which she is as far from the conventional woman-in-peril as it is possible to be without being superhuman. It all starts when she gets a job as technical consultant on a television thriller starring her rather camp boyfriend Hugo, and finds herself caught up in the affairs of actress Sarah, for whom she is performing the welding bits of Sarah's role. Sarah has robust views, vigorously expressed, about the wearing of fur, and has become the target of Animal Rights Groups' hate mail and malicious practical jokes on set--it seems obvious to Sam that she has been mistaken for Sarah. Freed, she helps the police, but also puts her own investigation into play. As always, Henderson is as funny about subcultural milieux--actors, animal-rights people--as she is about her foul-mouthed, mildly predatory heroine; this is an excellent comedy thriller which is both exciting and entertaining. --Roz Kaveney


Product Description

When Sam Jones wakes up handcuffed in a cellar she naturally assumes she is suffering the aftermath of a great night out. But then she recalls all too vividly being kidnapped from the car park of the film studios where her boyfriend Hugo is shooting a TV series.

5.0 out of 5 stars All trussed up and noplace to go!, 7 Feb 2002
By Frank J. Konopka (Shamokin, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Chained! (Paperback)
How many women, waking up handcuffed and chained to a beam in a basement (with a splitting headache), would initially pass the whole thing off as a hangover and a sexy date gone "slightly awry"? Only Sam Jones, my favorite "crime girl behaving badly". This series is not for everyone, particularly the prudish, but for those of us who enjoy mystery, suspense, witty dialogue, and just a hint of raciness, it's quite enjoyable. Often the underlying mystery is merely a backdrop to Sam's trials and tribulations, and those of her friends and acquaintances. the stories are written with humor in mind, and should be taken that way. The main problem with Sam Jones is that, every time she's around, bad things seem to happen, and people die. It's not her fault but, given her track record, the only fellow who would be likely to take her home to meet his mother would be Norman Bates!

4.0 out of 5 stars A riveting beginning, but it did flag a bit at the end., 27 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Chained! (Paperback)
Although I was slightly disappointed since I didn't feel it was as good as some of the others, I did enjoy it. Sam is a great character.

Lauren Henderson doesn't disappoint with this latest fantastic Sam Jones novel. Sam is you untypical heroine and she just keeps getting better.

Brill! Keep writing Lauren.
