Skye Williams thinks nothing can be worse than finding
lingerie under her bed that's not hers (or even her size).
But discovering her husband in bed with a *man* who is
wearing the aforementioned lingerie means that her
twenty-two-year marriage is over. Kaput. Dead. At least she
has her two best friends to help her through her crisis. Is
there life after being a stay-at-home wife and mother?
Bobbi Jo, one of Skye's best friends, is implicated in a
murder when her handgun is stolen and then used to kill her
personal trainer's girlfriend. And when other mysterious
incidences and another death occur Bobbi Jo is looking at
being charged with murder. Can Skye and Lily, their New Age
friend, figure out who the culprit is before the police
arrest Bobbi Jo?
Skye finds herself facing new challenges at forty-two. She
must get a place to live, find a job (nearly impossible
after being out of the workforce so long), get divorced,
rejoin the dating scene and find a killer. No problem for
such a multitasker like Skye, who begins by reclaiming her
maiden name, Donovan. With two potential love interests,
will Skye keep her mind on her appointed tasks?
IF IT'S NOT ONE THING, IT'S A MURDER is a very enjoyable
novel. Readers looking for a more typical mystery may be
disappointed because the crime-solving often takes a
backseat to Skye reclaiming her life. Ms. Wolfe's Skye
Donovan is a likable character who learns to love life again
after divorce and becomes more like the woman she was so
many years ago. This could easily turn into a cozy mystery
series if the author chose to do so. Give this one a try if
you like women's fiction merged with mystery.
Skye Donovan has a life of
structure and predictability after 22 years of
marriage. Upon
discovering another woman's underwear in her home, she
suspects her
husband is fooling around. She realizes her suspicions are
both right
and wrong when she walks in on him—and his boyfriend. Skye
now finds
herself confronting a new reality—she needs to start life
over, find a
new job, move to a new place, break the news to her teenage
daughter,
and worst of all, start dating again. Just when Skye
thinks she
has her best friend to help her through it all, corpses
begin turning
up—and that same friend is the prime suspect. To make things
worse, she soon finds herself dealing with a handsome
detective, a sexy writer, a pagan wedding, an unexpected
pregnancy, and
a new career. Now, amidst the chaos, she must exonerate her
friend
before the murderer strikes even closer to home.
