Desiree Shapiro’s niece, Ellen, will soon be saying, “I
do.” So Manhattan’s pudgiest P.I. teams up with Ellen’s
future mother-in-law, eager to give the bride a truly
memorable shower. And memorable, it is. After all, when a
guest takes a few bites of her salad, then promptly keels
over, it’s not something anyone present is likely to
forget.
Naturally, being a dedicated foodie, Desiree knows plenty
of “to die for” dishes, but a green salad isn’t one of
them. And once she begins to look into the victim’s death—
and life—Desiree is convinced she’s dealing with a
homicide. And that a number of backbiting society ladies
had every reason to want to scheming, man-hungry Bobbie
Jean dead. Meanwhile, Desiree has a new love interest. But
in her book, romance takes a back seat to murder.
Especially when the police are perilously close to
arresting an innocent woman for the crime.
