This comic mystery set in the elite zip codes of Manhattan will leave you breathless . . . literally
What could be more fun for a freelance copy editor than work- ing on a juicy tell-all about one of Manhattan' s most enigmatic society doyennes? But when Miranda " Rannie" Bookman arrives at Ret Sullivan' s tony Upper East Side apartment, she finds more than the final draft of the reclusive author' s manuscript waiting for her— there' s also the half-naked body of Ret herself, tied to her bed and strangled with an Hermè s scarf.
Was this merely a case, as the police believe, of rough sex that got a little too rough? Or was Ret murdered because someone wanted to make absolutely sure she didn' t meet her deadline? Once again, Rannie must prove that her mind is just as sharp as her Col-Erase blue pencils— or risk getting rubbed out too.
