Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. journalist involved in St. Louis rehab murders Another lightweight, humorous mystery from Ms. Viets. Journalist Francesca Vierling gets involved with a bunch of rehabbers--folks who buy houses, tear them apart, and put them back together more nicely. Deaths occur and Francesca, who has a bit of a history with sleuthing and with a particular St. Louis detective, sets out to solve them. Snarky humor abounds. Nothing too exciting--I had guessed the murderer pretty early on. The humor is hit-and-miss, with enough hits to bring an occasional grin. It's mixed with earnestness, which doesn't exactly fit. The tone is uneven, as if the book has an identity crisis. Overall a moderately fun, light read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:Whacked with a lawn flamingo? A reporter wants to knowâ??who killed with kitsch... The rehabilitation of North Dakota Place is a feel-good storyâ??the kind St. Louis City Gazette columnist Francesca Vierling likes to write. Grand houses restored to former glory. Pride in a neighborhoodâ??and, like all good stories, this one has a hero, the woman who made it all happen, the city's guardian of good taste. Some call her a rehabbing saint, others a fanatic. The first death on North Dakota Place was certainly shocking but not entirely unwelcomeâ??after all, the victim was a cranky old man who had been painting his house purple. The second death, of a drug dealer, brings tacit approvalâ??and growing suspicion. But all bets are off when another victim is found, a socialite unceremoniously whacked with a pink lawn flamingo. Now the neighbors want Francesca to investigate. But her boyfriend wants her to commit to marriage, not crime. Soon the gutsy reporter is experiencing a deepening personal crisisâ??and something more heinous than vinyl siding: the dark secrets of heart, home, and blighted dreams.
