Reluctant sleuth Josephine Fuller is back, and this time she can't resist throwing her weight around. Fuller is working as a philinthropic investigator at a women's center in Seattle when she is faced with the mysterious death of her ex-husband's girlfriend, a woman that Fuller herself wouldn't have minded seeing vanish. She also has other things to deal with, such as a haunted house and a love denied. But the death is intermingled with the women's work center and ultimately this draws her into the case. At once the chief investigator and primary suspect Fuller has a lot in her large hands.
This book was a great deal more fun than the first of Ms. Fuller's novels. Excellent character development, a much better plot and a few ice axes thrown in for fun. A good solid read for the beach.
Fun reading about a woman who lives life

Very enjoyable books, these three, and the most recent is the best yet. Amateur sleuth Jo Fuller is a real person - living a real life - yet getting involved in solving crimes on the side. Love the full figured point of view - nice change from what we usually see - and a much more realistic view of women.
