Summary

Bubbles Yablonsky—the part-time sleuth and full-time broad that Jennifer Crusie calls "Pennsylvania's answer to Erin Brockovich" is back. And this time she goes all the way to crack the biggest case of her career.

Lucky Bubbles. Just as she's trying to parlay her test- run at the News-Times into a full-time reporting gig, a high-profile murder lands at her pretty feet. The victim: a local steel executive. The accused: his lovely wife. The weapon: cyanide-laced fingernails. If anyone can solve a well-manicured slaying like this, it's Bubbles. And nothing's going to stop her. Not trying to drive while applying mascara with one hand. Not the shenanigans of her mother LuLu. Not even hunky photojournalist Steve Stiletto, who vows that this time, he's getting everything he wants from Bubbles. But how far is the amateur sleuth in spandex willing to go to get what she wants?
