Description
Hours before the opening of her career counseling practice, Gilda Greco discovers the body of golden girl, Carrie Ann Godfrey, neatly arranged in the dumpster outside Gilda’s office. Gilda’s life and budding career are stalled as Detective Carlo Fantin, her former high school crush, conducts the investigation. When three more dead blondes turn up, all brutally strangled and deposited near Gilda’s favorite haunts, she is pegged as a prime suspect for the murders.
Frustrated by Carlo’s chilly detective persona and the mean girl antics of Carrie Ann’s meddling relatives, Gilda decides to launch her own investigation. She discovers a gaggle of suspects, among them a yoga instructor in need of anger management training, a lecherous photographer, and fourteen ex-boyfriends.
As the puzzle pieces fall into place, shocking revelations emerge, forcing Gilda to confront the envy and deceit she has long overlooked.

Blondes are being murdered in this small town and a counselor that new them from childhood becomes the main suspect. This was a well written short read and the recipes at the end are a bonus I can't wait to try them.

This was a fun read that included recipes at the end- love that. The story centers around Gilda, a 50+ woman who has recently moved back to where she grew up after winning the lottery. She is setting up a career center and on the day of her open house to launch the new business a dead woman is found in her trash. I enjoyed reading about all the Italian food, I wanted to be sitting at the table with them. And Gilda's extended family & friends are a fun mix of crazy.
The only problem I had was with so many characters I had trouble keeping track of who was who. And I also feel the ending was a little rushed. But overall a great read & it was exciting to read about a middle age character- not too many of those these days.
