Is a retirement-home Romeo to blame for the mysterious
deaths in Florida’s most luxurious communities? Gladdy and
her curious kibitzers will have to go undercover to find
out—covering themselves with as many fancy-schmancy airs as
possible. But with Gladdy’s drama queen sister Evvie
playing the role of a Palm Beach flirt, their fun and games
turn deadly. For by the time the girls ID their perp, Evvie
is in the arms of a killer—and loving it.…
