Description

"Refreshing characters, bright humor, enjoyable plotting and easy-going prose". -- Library JournalThe reviews are in for Margaret Chittenden's second Charlie Plato mystery, "Dead Men Don't Dance". Publishers Weekly called the book "entertaining" while Booklist raved "this is a series to watch". Now thirty-year-old divorcee Charlie Plato returns in an unforgettable mystery that crackles with wit and suspense.Charlie Plato is not your average female entrepreneur. But then Chaps, situated on show more the San Francisco not far from the San Andreas fault, isn't your ordinary country-western nightclub. For Charlie, managing Chaps -- with its veritable menagerie of eccentric patrons -- is one adventure after another. Especially when Charlie's business partner, Zack Hunter, a former television heartthrob, decides to run for political office. The race for City Council turns even hotter when Zack finds his opponent dead in the trunk of his car. With the police making Zack their prime suspect, Charlie decides it's time to do some sleuthing...and learns more than she ever wanted to know about Zack's secret past. But putting the pieces together soon reveals a picture that's far from pretty -- and just might get her killed. show less
