COME HELL OR HIGHBALL

Maia Chance

Author Book List

30-year-old society matron Lola Woodby has survived her
loveless marriage with an unholy mixture of highballs,
detective novels, and chocolate layer cake, until, her
husband dies suddenly, leaving her his fortune...or so Lola
thought. As it turns out, all she inherits from Alfie is a
big pile of debt. Pretty soon, Lola and her stalwart Swedish
cook, Berta, are reduced to hiding out in the secret love
nest Alfie kept in New York City.

But when rent comes due, Lola and Berta have no choice but
to accept an offer made by one of Alfie's girls-on-the-side:
in exchange for a handsome sum of money, the girl wants Lola
to retrieve a mysterious reel of film for her. It sounds
like an easy enough way to earn the rent money. But Lola and
Berta realize they're in way over their heads when, before
they can retrieve it, the man currently in possession of the
film reel is murdered, and the reel disappears. On a quest
to retrieve the reel and solve the murder before the killer
comes after them next, Lola and Berta find themselves
navigating one wacky situation after another in high style
and low company.

Charming, witty, often laugh-out-loud funny, Maia Chance's
Come Hell or Highball introduces a sparkling new voice in
crime fiction.
