Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The national bestselling author who turns“minimum wage into maximum hilarit” (Nancy Martin, author of Murder Melts in Your Mouth) reveals the lifestyles of the rich and murderedÂ… Helen Hawthorn‛s latest dead-end job is in a country clu‛s complaint department, dealing with the gripes of the rich and spoiled. Then Rob, her deadbeat ex-husband, sails back into her life aboard the yacht of his new lady, Marcella—known as the Black Widow for her string of dead spouses. The next day Ro‛s reported missing. If the Black Widow has such a murderous reputation, then why is Helen led from the club in handcuffs? When Marcella helps Helen get released, the two form an uneasy alliance to find out what really happened. Hele‛s barely begun digging when a club patron is discovered beaten to death with a golf club —his membership permanently expired. Someone got more than a little teed off and i‛s up to Helen to get to the truth—without getting clubbed herselfÂ… Review:"In Viets's sprightly seventh Dead-End Job mystery (after 2007's Murder with Reservations), intrepid Helen Hawthorne, now a 'customer care' clerk at the snobbish Superior Club in Golden Palms, Fla., is dismayed to run into her money-hungry ex, Rob, in the club parking lot. When Rob, who's now married to a wealthy club member known as the Black Widow because her last five husbands have died mysteriously, tells Helen he fears for his life, the unsympathetic Helen hits him. Fellow club employees witness their fight, and one of them, Brenda, almost succeeds in getting Helen fired. Later, the authorities view Helen as a prime suspect after Rob disappears, a possible murder victim. When someone beats Brenda and a philandering plastic surgeon to death with Brenda's seven iron, Helen has a lot more to worry about. The romantic ending will leave fans eager for the next installment in this superior cozy series. Author tour. (May)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
