Violetta claimed she needed to get away, but she had notified the press of where she was going. Seems Violetta thrived on being in the public's eye. When Violetta shows up with her make-up case and Tina, her cat, things start getting strange. Her story line is wonky and a bit hard to believe.
Meanwhile, Betty had taken a job typing the memoirs of the famous, vain and eccentric Crispin Abbott, who had recently purchased and remodeled the old Winfield farm to the point it was barely recognizable. A man who was charming, surrounded by a cast of characters and a bit overbearing. His housemates included a very young girl name Sonia, his muse; a housekeeper, Mrs. Bea Fender and her son Johnny, both with bad reputations in town. Betty figured it would give her some extra money and something to take up her time.
Betty really becomes involved when Violetta goes missing, Betty's garage is torched and a body is found in the ashes. What is going on? Betty starts putting things together and the picture is not a good one. Seems big city problems have come to small town East Moulton.
The story line move smoothly and the characters are consistent. A fun, fast read.… (plus d'informations)
