Publisher's summary

VINE VOICE: "A concrete and believable character that consistently flows through the pages." VINE VOICE: Edelheit has crafted such a fun cast of characters." "A worthy Netflix substitute!" "Does not disappoint." "Edelheit strikes again." "This is a rat’s nest of connected scenarios, an action-packed, hilarious fast-paced mystery involving murder, drugs, an ex-wife, an antique car collection, and the FBI." “With her exquisite talent of writing her characters in such a manner that they leap off the pages at you, Edelheit can tell a story unlike any other out there.”

Out of the blue, Samantha’s friend, Mona, calls. She was frantic. “Marc is dead! Sam, come quick!” Sam is speechless. ...Who is Marco? “Peggy is a remarkable mystery writer that has a unique ability to write captivating rich mysteries laced with humor that keeps her readers entertained.”

After arriving, Sam finds out Mona’s deceased husband, Marco was desperate to do whatever he could to protect his antique car collection from his former wife. So Marco marries Mona, before he is killed by some nefarious people he’s dealt with, giving Mona the legal right to protect his car collection after his demise, which his former wife is hell bent on taking, maybe even willing to kill for to get it. “A hilarious Boca mystery.” “Peggy Edelheit delivers once again, with a thrilling, amusing and tongue-in-cheek thriller that vacillates between ridiculous and riveting, like many of her books.”

But there is one major negative; this was Florida, a senior haven. Sam’s too young to blend in, pry into the details, and interview witnesses without causing suspicion. So who can help Sam before Mona is next on the kill list? Who was the rat with the kiss of death? Sam’s crew, seniors Martha, Hazel, and Betty, experts in that field, arrive to ferret out some clues, a plus, with Martha proclaiming, “That’s because seniors thrive of gossip and hearsay, that and the obituaries...”

“Overall, “Mouth of the Rat” is another confirmation from Edelheit that she definitely knows how to write a great crime novel. Thumbs up!”
“Did not disappoint, and turned out to be another, ‘don’t want to put down’ murder mystery.”
“One thing I did enjoy was the witty remarks in what was supposed to be a crime mystery. I found myself laughing at the wrong times, but it just made the book even better.”
“Edelheit makes a fast-paced and easy to read story. She creates likable characters which only add more depth to the overall story and mystery.”
