Carlotta is your average girl with above average problems. There is the romance and mystery. Cute chick lit! ( )This bok to a while to get into. I was afraid i would never get tothe good stuff. About half way through I could not put it down. Once the characters were developed Ihad to read it to the very end. Billed as a "sexy mystery," this novel follows Atlanta sales clerk Carlotta Wren as she becomes involved in the investigation of the death of Angela Ashford, a former friend who had married Carlotta's former fiancee. Could her former lover, Peter Ashford, be guilty of murder? Most of the chapters are told from Carlotta's point of view, but some are told from the point of view of her 19-year old brother, Wesley, who's on probation for hacking into the city's computer files and who owes lots of money for gambling debts. Wesley has recently secured a job helping transport bodies to the morgue, hence the title of the novel. Carlotta, for so long without a man in her life, suddenly finds herself the center of attention, as her ex-fiancee, a police detective, and Wesley's boss all take an interest in her. Well written and enjoyable. 0.029 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0778323331, Paperback)Okay, so Carlotta Wren's life hasn't turned out as she'd planned. She didn't plan for her parents to skip bail for a white-collar crime, leaving her to raise her younger brother. She didn't plan on having the silver spoon ripped out of her mouth and forgoing college to work retail. She didn't plan on her blue-blood fiancé dumping her like last year's designer bag. And she didn't plan to still be single (with no prospects) ten years later, working at Neiman Marcus, with no idea where her fugitive parents are. But she's coping, sort of. Until……her lovable brother is arrested and his loan sharks come calling. …the hunky cop who arrested her brother reopens her parents' case. …her brother becomes a body mover, transporting corpses from crime scenes. …her former fiancé's wife (a good customer) is murdered, fingering Carlotta. …her brother's sexy boss draws her into the bizarre world of body moving. Suddenly Carlotta realizes that she has to bag a murderer to keep her own well-dressed body from being next on the list!
