Death in a Hot Flash
Plot:
Bel Barrett’s back!
This time the fifty-something New Jersey community college prof is teaching writing to future funeral directors with popular local undertaker Vinny Vallone. When Vinny’s found swimming with the fishes in the Hudson River, Bel suspects a stalker who strikes back.
In a flash, Bel’s up to her estrogen patch in danger.
Meanwhile, Bel’s aging parents fall ill in Charleston, her “adult” children are at risk in Israel and Seattle, and her long-time lover leaves her heartbroken in Hoboken.
Bel must unmask the killer, teach her classes, care for her parents and her kids, and win back her lover all at once.
