Just Murdered
Elaine Viets
Helen Hawthorne is on the run, trying to stay one step
ahead of her past—and one paycheck ahead of disaster. To
make it, she jumps from one dead-end job to another.
Luckily, she’s got a lot of talents—including one for
detection… When Helen Hawthorne takes a job at the upscale
Millicent’s Bridal Salon, she expects to see some
sentimental tears as brides pick out their gowns. But when
a rich,
obnoxious mother-of-the-bride named Kiki is killed, it
seems most of the tears are fake. When Helen’s
fingerprints are found on the murder weapon—a wedding
dress—she must solve the case to prove her innocence. Is
the murderer Kiki’s money-strapped ex-husband? The bride
who finally got tired of letting Mom run the show? The
groom whose career is about to be ruined? Or one of the
numerous boy toys promised a million dollars in the will?
Helen better find out quick—and make sure Kiki’s funeral
outfit doesn’t clash with the groom’s mother’s…
