(Starred
review) Half-Price Homicide: A Dead-End Job Mystery
Elaine Viets. NAL/Obsidian, $22.95 (272p) ISBN 978-0-451-22989-2
A posh Fort
Lauderdale, Fla., resale shop provides the snazzy scene of the crime in
Viets's superior ninth mystery starring Helen Hawthorne, the queen of
dead-end jobs and magnet for murder (after 2009's Killer
Cuts). Helen and Vera Salinda, the owner of Snapdragon's Second
Thoughts, are shocked when Chrissy Martlet, a wealthy developer's sexy
trophy wife, is found fatally bonked on the head with a Limoges pineapple,
then hung with a Gucci scarf after trying to sell Vera some of her
designer goods. Identifying Chrissy's killer as well as the culprit who
bashes in the head of a model friend with a beer bottle tests Helen's
sleuthing abilities to the limit. A teasing plot twist serves up a
reminder that even if her greedy ex-husband, Rob, might finally stop
pestering her and better jobs appear, there are still mountains to climb
before Helen can rest easy with Phil, her PI honey. Viets doesn't waste a
word in this tight, fast-paced installment as she deftly balances comedy
and tragedy.(May)
