Helen has a new job at Page Turners bookshop in Fort Lauderdale. It was the best job she could get where she can be paid in cash so she doesn't leave a paper trail for her ex-husband to pick up on. The shop is run by Page Turner III and it seems he doesn't really know much about books and isn't well liked. So it isn't much of a surprise to anyone when he turns up dead. The only surprise is where he is found.

Helen's neighbour and friend is the prime suspect in the murder and she knows that the parrot loving lottery player couldn't have done the deed. It is so obvious that her friend was set up but Helen has to prove it. So Helen once again finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation and hopes that this time she will find the real killer before her friend ends up in prision for life.

Book two in the Dead End Jobs series has really made the decision on if I want to keep reading these books really easy. My decision is oh yeah! This series is fun and original with a main character that I really like. Helen is down to earth and strong with a knack for looking the right places for clues.

So I am glad I have the next two books in this cozy mystery series and have already put the others on my wishlist. If you are looking for a more grown up Stephanie Plum then look no further.
