I want to know how Elaine Viets gets all the details on the variety of under-the-table paying jobs poor Helen gets in her quest to remain "out of the system" to avoid her ex-husband and the retribution of the Missouri legal system. This time Helen is working in customer service - more like customers torturing the employees - in an exclusive Florida country club where the old inherited-it-rich rub shoulders with the newly rich Mafia types. As usual Helen's quirky landlady and neighbors are there to lend their support when Helen becomes a suspect in a murder. Her ex-husband has married the notorious "Black Widow," but Helen was the last person seen with him before his bloody shirt and a pool of his blood is found in the club's employee parking lot so she becomes the prime suspect in his supposed murder. Fortunately, Helen's new love is around to help her prove her innocence. As usual, a funny, clever, and read-it-in-one night book.
