Mystery Woman Sleuth
Professor Bel Barrett has enough on her plate teaching
English at a Jersey City community college. Between hot
flashes, she's worrying about her two grown kids and
whether her significant other is becoming less
significant. Yet somehow Bel lets a colleague, Vinny
Vallone—part-time Funeral Services Education teacher, big-
time undertaker—flatter her into believing that the future
of feminism in the funeral business depends on her acting
as a role model by teaching his class how to research and
write. But before Bel actually gets into co-teaching the
inner-city undertaker wannabes, Vinny the undertaker turns
into Vinny the deceased.
There's no doubt it's murder, and suspicion is focused on
one of Bel's students, a young reformed ex-gangster. Bel
doesn't believe the born-again ex-con murdered Vinny and,
as always, she makes it her business to right a wrong.
With no shortage of suspects, Bel sets out to catch a
killer, despite the strong possibility that her nose for
news may land her in a hot spot even she can't fan her way
out of. Professor Bel Barrett has enough on her plate
