Dead Girls Don't Wear Diamonds
Nancy Martin
Giving up my socialite life to get a real job writing a
society column for a Philadelphia paper hasn’t worked out
as well as I hoped. The developers still want to turn the
Blackbird estate into an outlet mall. My eccentric sisters
are convinced I need a dog, a baby…or a keeper. And now I’m
falling hard for a Jersey tough guy with criminal
connections. On top of my family feuding, one of the city’s
nouveau riche has just been murdered, and I could be a
prime suspect. What would Emily Post do? When a high society jewel thief winds up drowned at the
bottom of a pool with a tacky garden gnome tied to her
ankles, Nora must swing into action to save her old flame,
Flan Cooper, from a hasty murder charge. A politically
ambitious millionaire with hushed up secrets, a dotty grand
dame with a penchant for polo teams, and a cat fancier who
keeps a gun with his silver tea set all steer suspicion
onto Nora herself. It’s enough to make the bluebloods turn
pale! Nora must find the killer on her own—or risk trading
her grandmother’s couture for an orange jumpsuit. All in an
ex-debutante’s day’s work, Nora. All in a day’s work.
