Gladys Burger has never held a job for more than a few months in her entire life. Her grandmother, Zelda, asks her to move Cannes and take over her matchmaking business. Zelda has an uncanny knack for matching people. An amazing women who never leaves her home, Zelda knows everyone in town and is always up on the latest news.

Gladys, who prefers to be called Gladie, is trying to organize her grandmother's business records and wondering how she will develop the skills to become a matchmaker.

The neighbor across the street has died. Even though it was declared death from natural causes, there are too many questions left unanswered. Gladie's instincts along with some hints from the family have her pursuing all the leads that come her way.

As she investigates, she meets two exciting men who romance her. One is the new police chief in town. The other lives next door to Zelda and is rather mysterious about his life.

Peopled with eccentric and interesting characters, this is a great start to a new series of mysteries. AN AFFAIR TO DISMEMBER was thoroughly entertaining and I look forward to more in the series. Fans of comedic mysteries will want to pick this one up.
