Murder Unleashed
Elaine Viets
The national bestselling series that gives new meaning to the phrase "dead-end job" makes its hardcover debut.
With a résumé that includes attempted assault and alimony
evasion, Helen Hawthorne has no choice but to take on a
series of dead-end jobs to make ends meet. At the Pampered
Pet Boutique, Helen hustles a selection of canine cuisine
and couture that beats anything in her own fridge or
closet. And when Helen goes to deliver a dog to a client,
she finds the blonde trophy wife stretchedout naked by her
pool, a pair of ten-inch grooming scissors sticking out of
her chest. Later that same day, a valuable labradoodle
puppy is kidnapped from the boutique. All eyes turn to Helen as the main suspect, and with a
hurricane headed straight for South Florida, Helen's got to
find the killer and come clean, or else her new life will
be gone with the wind.
