Pietra "Pete" Lang is the backbone of her family and the only one who seems to have a bit of common sense. Therefore, when her beloved grandmother, the matriarch of Langstown, Florida, passes away, it's only natural that she's the gal to handle the job. However, Grandma Lang doesn't have a skeleton in her closet, she's got a dead body in her freezer! Pete is the only sane one of the bunch, and the town of Langstown is beholden to its matriarch. What she can't have is a scandal on her hands, and so she and her best friend, Albert, are in a fine pickle when they have to figure out a way to make this problem sink quietly away.

Danny Benedict is a suave, savvy and highly respected divorce attorney. What he doesn't have is a life of his own. His secretary is forever trying to set him up with one romantic interest or another, but no one seems to have the power to capture his fancy for long. That's before he catches up with Pete Lang. There to handle the quirky divorce of Pete's brother, an important politician, Danny is instead mesmerized by this backwater spitfire. The only problem is she's got a body on her hands and doesn't want him to do what's ethically right and report it. It turns out Grandma Lang has put her dead husband's floozy on ice, and when the freezer dies as well, there's a lot that smells rotten in Langstown. What's a guy to do when he finally meets the girl of his dreams and she's up to her elbows in scandal?

Ms. Buckley has created a quick-paced, comical romance that readers will enjoy. The dialogue is snippy, snappy and satirical, while the characters are quirky and amusing. Even though the storyline doesn't address how to handle your insane family and what you really should do with a dead body on hand, it does leave you chuckling. Good for a light amusing read, for those who want a good laugh instead of a dose of reality.
