Half Price Homicide

A Dead End Jobs Mystery

De: Elaine Viets

Narrado por: Sarah Pesek

When Fort Lauderdale’s wealthiest want to discreetly trade their best barely-worn threads for cash, they bring it to Snapdragon’s Second Thoughts - which is where Helen Hawthorne finds herself selling the most chic second-hand clothing in Florida.

But the usual haggling turns homicidal when a particularly petty customer turns up dead - dangling by a darling Gucci scarf - and Helen's boss Vera is eyed as a suspect.

Helen knows Vera can drive a hard bargain but can’t believe Vera would resort to murder. And while she would like to help, a sudden tragedy forces Helen to return to St. Louis - where she has the chance to face the past she’s been running from.

Now, if Helen doesn’t quickly deal with her fugitive status - as well as her own fractious family - she won’t make it back home in time to prevent the police from making a very unfashionable arrest….

Half-price homicide

Funny, interesting mystery. I like that it’s not super serious and it’s still kind of funny even though it gives you a little bit of a mystery. I never can figure out who the killer is and these until the end. I think this book was one of the best because it made Helen seem a little bit more of a person gave her background and roots. Not just the total Fort Lauderdale persona of the woman on the run. I also like that it’s wrapping up the whole running from the law storyline I think the books can still be interesting without having all that junk about Helen’s past I mean it’s served its purpose but it’s nice that it’s moving on.
