Hand me that Handbook
by Lorraine Bartlett / Lorna Barrett / L.L. Bartlett
When Susan Morris is found dead in the dumpster behind Haven’t Got a Clue, Tricia Miles’s vintage mystery bookstore, it’s assumed that she died while digging through the garbage--especially after Tricia’s assistant, Pixie Poe, announces that Susan lived in her car.
People have really got to be down on their luck to have to live in their car, right? Well, maybe not. According to Pixie, who might not have been considered Susan’s friend, but they were acquaintances and Susan confided in her.
It turns out that quite a few people actually live in their cars—and it’s by choice. To save money, to be able to afford to travel, and/or just to live a minimal life free of possessions. For Susan, it was a little of each.
But there are drawbacks to that kind of life, too. And for Susan, it was fatal, because she wasn’t dumpster diving when she died, she was murdered. And it looks like it’s up to Tricia to find out why.
What is it that drives Tricia to relentlessly search for the truth when she stumbles across a homicide? In this instance, she’s worried that because of Pixie’s checkered past, the authorities might not look too hard when it comes to finding an alternate suspect in Susan’s death. And as she begins to look into Susan’s past, there are sinister reasons for someone else to have wanted to see her dead.
