Mystery Woman Sleuth

Claudia Connors comes home after a wild trip to Vegas with a head full of flaming red hair. This really doesn't surprise her buddies, the Bunco Babes. But when she reveals that she has gotten married and introduces them to her new husband, the tanned, handsome actor Lance Ledeaux, well, the girls are shocked, to say the least.

And when Lance announces to the Babes that he plans to direct and perform in a play in which he wants all of them to have roles in the production, the normally skeptical Babes are won over by his offer and his general charm. But the honeymoon seems to be over between Claudia and Lance when Kate accidentally overhears a fight between the newlyweds over money problems and becomes concerned for her friend. Her concern skyrockets when during a rehearsal Lance is shot with a prop gun that had been loaded with real bullets, and the main suspect looks to be Claudia. It's up to the Bunco Babes to help clear their friend's name, and Kate leads the gals on an investigation into the homicide that turns up more clues and suspicious characters than they ever imagined could invade their normally peaceful world.

'TIL DICE DO US PART is the second book in Gail Oust's "Bunco Babes Mysteries" series, and it is filled with good humor and saucy characters that will keep readers in stitches as they follow the group of friends tied together by their love for the popular dice game.

SUMMARY

The Bunco Babes are a group of hip retirees who love to play bunco-and addictive game of luck.

But someone's luck is about to run out...

For good.


When Claudia Connors returns from Vegas with a new husband, actor Lance Ledeaux, Kate McCall and the other Bunco Babes are shocked. To make matters worse, Lance has plans to direct, produce, and star in a play he has written-and he wants all the Babes to participate.

When he's killed during rehearsal with a pistol, all eyes are on Claudia, who is literally holding the smoking gun. Anyone could have loaded the real bullets, but its up to Kate to prove Claudia's innocence-or her newly widowed friend will be throwing dice behind bars.
