After eight years and massive student loan debt, my choices are zip. So I'm stuck at home living with my controlling, Type-A, Stepford mother and my sex-obsessed grandparents in our small town of Aurora Falls. The only job available that doesn't involve a deep fat fryer is as an obituary writer for the Aurora Falls Guardian. But my first day begins with stumbling on the dead body of my ex-best friend and past nemesis - and ends with the possibility of handcuffs. Add to that mix that my ex-boyfriend is now my boss. And weirdly, completely willing to help me solve a murder, if it means getting me back to my cramped desk job? and "Complication and " must be the word of the day on my tear off desk calendar. With a wacky cast of characters hell bent on keeping the peace, no bit of personal information is sacred. I have to find a killer - or risk making friends with a cellmate named Betty the Bruiser.
