Synopsis
Overweight PI Desiree Shapiro makes a return call in Selma Eichler's 'Murder Can Wreck Your Reunion'. Things have been slow for Desiree, her most recent case being reuniting an elderly woman with her dachshund. So when her niece Ellen goes to a friend's house for a college class reunion, she isn't expecting trouble. When guest Raven Eber plunges to her death in an empty swimming pool, the police aren't sure if it's murder, suicide or an accident, but the one thing they're sure of is that Ellen, who had good reason to hate Raven, is suspect. A complicating factor is that Raven was not invited to the party, but turned up with invitation in hand. With the police hounding her, and more threatening events occurring, Ellen knows the only one to help her is her methodical Aunt Desiree. In a world of slim, trim female PIs, it is a pleasure to read about the comfortably overweight Desiree Shapiro. More believable than most superwomen, she always solves the crime.
