Murder Can Ruin Your Looks
Selma Eichler
Desiree Shapiro, New York’s full-figured P.I., is dead set
against taking another murder case. But her old friend
Peter Winters just needs her to figure out who got killed.
His fiancée, Mary-Ann, and her identical twin, Meredith,
were brutally shot in their posh condo. One sister lies in
the morgue. The other is in a coma.
Nobody knows which of the once-beautiful blondes survived.
So Desiree agrees to snoop around Meredith’s fellow actors
at a very offbeat, Off-Off Broadway theater and cannily
question Mary Ann’s friends and sleazy ex-lover, in locales
from Uptown to Jersey. And as the chilling picture emerges,
lies, greed, and betrayal prove that looks are deceiving
and increasingly dangerous—especially for New York’s
funniest, chubbiest gumshoe.
