  <description><![CDATA[ On the frontlines of the battle of the bulge, otherwise known as trying on  bathing suits in the communal dressing room at Loehmann's, freelance writer  Jaine Austen makes a new friend--a wannabe actress named Pam--and gets a  new job: sprucing up Pam's bare-bones resume. Their feeling of connection  is mutual, so Pam invites Jaine to join The PMS Club-a women's support  group that meets once a week over guacamole and margaritas. <p> But joining the club proves to be more a curse than a blessing for Jaine.  Though she is warned that Rochelle, the hostess, makes a guacamole to die  for, Jaine never takes the warning literally. Until another PMS member,  Marybeth, drops dead over a mouthful of the green stuff after confessing  she is having an affair with Rochelle's husband.  <p> While Rochelle and her husband are the obvious suspects, everyone at that  night's meeting is under suspicion, including Jaine. So, instead of dishing  dirt with The PMS Club, Jaine has to dig up dirt on the surviving members.  And soon it becomes clear: someone in this club thinks getting away with  murder should be a privilege of membership...</p></p>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is part of a silly mystery series in which the author is trying to be as funny as Janet Evanovich, and not quite making it. However, these are light, fun reads about a resume/copy writer named Jaine Austen who finds herself solving mysteries. And why not.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[ On the frontlines of the battle of the bulge, otherwise known as trying on  bathing suits in the communal dressing room at Loehmann's, freelance writer  Jaine Austen makes a new friend--a wannabe actress named Pam--and gets a  new job: sprucing up Pam's bare-bones resume. Their feeling of connection  is mutual, so Pam invites Jaine to join The PMS Club-a women's support  group that meets once a week over guacamole and margaritas. <p> But joining the club proves to be more a curse than a blessing for Jaine.  Though she is warned that Rochelle, the hostess, makes a guacamole to die  for, Jaine never takes the warning literally. Until another PMS member,  Marybeth, drops dead over a mouthful of the green stuff after confessing  she is having an affair with Rochelle's husband.  <p> While Rochelle and her husband are the obvious suspects, everyone at that  night's meeting is under suspicion, including Jaine. So, instead of dishing  dirt with The PMS Club, Jaine has to dig up dirt on the surviving members.  And soon it becomes clear: someone in this club thinks getting away with  murder should be a privilege of membership...</p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Laura Levine's main character, Jaine Austen, reminds me of a cross between those of Janet Evanovich (without the foul language), and Sophie Kinsella. Janet's character, Stephanie Plum, is brasher and braver than Jaine Austen. And Jaine is not quite as frustrating as Rebecca in the Shopaholic books, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37046952">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[ On the frontlines of the battle of the bulge, otherwise known as trying on  bathing suits in the communal dressing room at Loehmann's, freelance writer  Jaine Austen makes a new friend--a wannabe actress named Pam--and gets a  new job: sprucing up Pam's bare-bones resume. Their feeling of connection  is mutual, so Pam invites Jaine to join The PMS Club-a women's support  group that meets once a week over guacamole and margaritas. <p> But joining the club proves to be more a curse than a blessing for Jaine.  Though she is warned that Rochelle, the hostess, makes a guacamole to die  for, Jaine never takes the warning literally. Until another PMS member,  Marybeth, drops dead over a mouthful of the green stuff after confessing  she is having an affair with Rochelle's husband.  <p> While Rochelle and her husband are the obvious suspects, everyone at that  night's meeting is under suspicion, including Jaine. So, instead of dishing  dirt with The PMS Club, Jaine has to dig up dirt on the surviving members.  And soon it becomes clear: someone in this club thinks getting away with  murder should be a privilege of membership...</p></p>]]>
