Private eye Desiree Shapiro has as much a talent for
murder
as she does for whipping up--and polishing off--a cold
lemon souffle. And New York"s chubbiest detective is
certainly putting all she's got into solving the death of
beautiful Raven Eber, since her favorite (and only) niece,
Ellen, is the leading suspect. Once close sorority
sisters,
Ellen and Raven have been estranged for years. But the two
meet again at a weekend reunion of old college friends,
and
the animosity between them boils over. When that same
night
Raven takes a dive off a balcony into the pool--an
empty pool--below, Ellen is in deep trouble.
Was Raven's death an accident? A suicide? Or something
more
sinister? Desiree quickly discovers that the deceased
could
have won the grand prize for being the girl everyone loved
to hate. And finding out whose animosity haD turned into a
murderous rage was going to be a tall order--but leave it
to this short, round gumshoe to fill it.
