Teetotaled

Thirty-year-old society matron Lola Woodby has survived her loveless marriage with an unholy mixture of highballs, detective novels, and chocolate layer cake, until her husband dies suddenly, leaving her his fortune.

Or so Lola thought.

As it turns out, all she inherits from Alfie is a big pile of debt. Pretty soon, Lola and her stalwart Swedish cook, Berta, are reduced to hiding out in the secret love nest Alfie kept in New York City.

Charming, witty, often laugh-out-loud funny, Maia Chance's Discreet Retrieval Agency series introduces a sparkling new voice in crime fiction.

Maia Chance was a finalist for the 2004 Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award and is a PhD candidate at the University of Washington. She is writing her dissertation on 19th-century American literature.

fantastic voicework for a fun mystery

I found it a little obvious who the killer was. Lola needs to be a little less of a dope in regards to her family, for sure.
