Dont Mess With Mrs In-Between (Pi Grace Smith Mysteries)

Grace Smith is hired to investigate a group of people photographed in a grocery store by wealthy Barbra Delaney, who plans to bequeath her considerable fortune to one of them in an effort to stop her son from trying to kill her. The best thing about Evans' books is her feisty, outrageous,outspoken heroine, private investigator Grace Smith. The next bestthing is Evans' off-the-wall, in-your-face humor. With their fanciful(if sometimes byzantine) plots and colossal casts of wackycharacters, the stories are a sheer delight for readers in need of anescape from this all-too-serious world. In her latest adventure,Londoner Grace is about to turn 30, and her resulting"life-is- so -over" depression is only relieved when she takes on acase for an oddball millionairess who wants to leave her fortune to agroup of strangers she photographed outside the local conveniencestore. Trouble is, she didn't bother to ask their names, and now shewants Grace to track them down. Typically, it isn't that simple, asGrace quickly finds herself dealing with a gory murder, a member ofParliament who's being blackmailed, the discovery of an illegalimmigrant ring, a weird encounter with a transvestite, and a bad caseof food poisoning. Still, it keeps her mind off the over-the-hillblues. Emily Melton Copyright © American Library Association.
