Book Description:
Once on the fast track to success, Helen Hawthorne is going nowhere fast. Forced to trade in her chic life for a shabby one, she's now on the run, jumping from city to city and dead-end job to dead-end job, trying to stay one step ahead of her past...
Helen Hawthorne has just found her new calling...as a telemarketer. And it's not long before she's disrupting dinners all over the country with her pesky calls. But during a phone survey to the home of Henry Asporth, she's the one who gets an earful when she overhears an argument, followed by a scream...and then dead air. Was someone being strangled? Or was it just a loud movie? Helen searches the office computer database to learn more about Asporth and the much younger woman he allegedly lived with...before she disappeared. And soon Helen's in over her head, chasing clues and trying to avoid a close call...with a killer.

Wow!~ I give this one 5 stars! In this book Helen's dead end job is as a telemarketer. She hears someone being strangled to death on a phone call and the police don't believe her. So of course Helen sets out to prove there really was a murder. Lots of very interesting twists and turns in this book, this one kept me guessing until the very end. You may not be able to put this one down, so get yourself some tea or coffee and some chocolate and enjoy!

4.5 stars - this is my second book of the Dead-End-Job-Mysteries series (I'm reading out of order, apparently .. but luckily it isn't detracting from the story!) I love Helen, the heroine. She's plucky and resourceful, and Elaine Viets has a great writing voice that is fun to read.

Helen becomes a telemarketer and thinks she hears a murder. The police don't believe her so she starts on her latest adventure trying to prove that she did her someone die and prove who did it. Very good book

This is a fun series! Helen's latest dead-end job is in telemarketing. When she overhears a murder during a phone survey, she calls 911. But when the police don't believe her, Helen starts her own investigation. There's never a dull moment with Helen - topless parties, kinky sex acts, and even a peek at her neighbor Phil.

In this book Helen takes a job as a telemarketer - selling a septic product. She begins to notice little things about the company that don't seem to fit. When the sellers do well, they are "rewarded" by making calls for their sister company, who does phone surveys. One night, while making a survey call, she overhears a murder. Or did she? The police find nothing. With the sister of the "murder victim" (who is missing), she begins to make inquiries. She finally meets her pot smoking neighbor Phil.

Another funny read with a look at the world of telemarketing from the telemarketers point of view.

This is the 2nd in the Dead End Job series. This time Helen is a telemarketer who hears an argument, followed by a scream and then dead air. Was someone strangled? Or not.
A really good book and some interesting insights into the lives of telemarketers.
