Search - Just Murdered (Dead-End Job, Bk 4)

Elaine Viets' dead-end job books are fun entertainment, not thought-provoking or deep. Just simple fun, quick & easy reads.

This is as good as the rest of the series, built on the interesting premise of an hourly wage earner, working off the grid, with a penchant for solving crimes. Fun.

I am really enjoying this series. This one gives you a peek into the cut throat business of bridal gowns and high fashion dresses and the snobbish ultra rich who buy them. Helen is a thoroughly likeable heroine and her quirky landlady and neighbors are endearing. Poor Helen gets stuck with the rich, sexually promiscuous mother-of-the-bride from hell and her frumpy heiress daughter who you just know is being married for her money. When a body falls out of the closet at the church on the wedding day literally onto Helen's feet, you just know none of the rich people in the bridal party are going to get blamed for the murder. So Helen has to solve the murder herself to avoid being the one arrested.

Helen Hawthorne takes a job in an upscale bridal shop in Fort Lauderdale. When the very wealthy obnoxious mother of the bride is murdered, Helen is suspected because her fingerprints are on the murder weapon. Helen then sets out to find out who the real killer is and clear her own name before her name and face are splashed all over the news.

As always, funny things happen along the way.

Love this seriew, Dead End Jobs. Characters are really fun, plots are well played out, keep you guessing. Try one book, you'll get hooked.

This is a good series
