Bubbles in Trouble
Sarah Strohmeyer

It should have been a great wedding. Unfortunately the bride-to-be disappeared and her uncle got his skull bashed in. But Bubbles Yablonsky, Lehigh’s stiletto-healed, hairdressing sleuth knows how to turn bad news into another chance at her big break as a newspaper reporter. Clues to the murder and the runaway bride’s whereabouts lie between Intercourse and Paradise—in the bucolic town of Whoopee, Pennsylvania. Amish country. For Bubbles, going undercover means no tube-tops, no blow dryer, and worst of all, no make-up. Now it looks like the girls at Sandy’s House of Beauty will have to wait. Apart from wriggling into a black apron, cruising the annual Pickle Fest, and teaching the locals about cuticle softeners, Bubbles has a crime to solve.
