Helen is working in a hotel when her ex Rob comes to South Florida and tries to find her through her old jobs. When there is a murder in the hotel she is working in she has to sneak in and out to avoid Rob. A truly delightful tale written by a master. Love the characters and writing was very good. Highly recommend this book and anything by this author. ( ) This is a wonderful series. You can tell that the author lived these "dead-end" jobs. The realistic touches to the day in and day out aspects of the environment realy make these murders. . . umm. . . come alive? Ok. that was bad. But these books are great. And I will never sit or sleep on a hotel bedspread again... or use a jacuzzi. And I promise to always leave a tip. Characters are wonderfully dimensional and anything but ordinary. Each book contains a double mystery.. the promised murder and the heroine herself is caught up in a web of legal trouble that I'm still sorting out. Might be easier if I'd started with book 1 of the series, but .... where's the challenge in that? no reviews | add a review
