Death of a Trophy Wife

Jaine Austen Mystery Series, Book 9

By: Laura Levine

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

Without a job or a date in sight, freelance writer Jaine Austen is equally out of luck in finance and romance. So when her friend Lance offers to treat her to brunch at the Four Seasons, Jaine leaps at the invite. They've barely made it through the menu when Lance spots his friend Bunny, who is the new trophy wife of mattress maven Marvin Cooper.

When Bunny generously offers Jaine a gig writing Marv's new advertising campaign, Jaine accepts the job, and an invitation to her upcoming soiree. But at the party Bunny cruelly rules the Cooper mansion and before the evening is over, someone poisons Bunny.

The police arrest Lance, but Jaine knows his murderous urges end at her closet door. Setting out to clear his name, she soon discovers a list of suspects longer than Bunny's credit card bill....

So much FUN

Jaine Austin is at it again but this time she must defend her best friend, Lance, who is accused of a young socialite’s murder. Once again the novel is packed with snarky comments and Prozac’s presence.

5 stars

This is the second time I have listened to this book. Both times it was entertaining and enjoyable. I highly recommend it.
