Just Like a Hero — Patricia Pellicane

Lexie loves her apartment. Bright, spacious, and newly remodeled, it is perfect and only a short subway ride from the city. She loves Brooklyn and her job. Lexie even loves her six elderly neighbors who've taken it upon themselves to watch over her. If they watch a little too closely, she can't find fault. After all, they only have her welfare at heart. They're so cute.



Jim Marino is Lexie's new neighbor. Jim is a lawyer who works for the District Attorney's office. Oddly enough, Jim doesn't think her neighbors are all that cute. In fact he thinks them particularly annoying, especially when he and Lexie have finally gotten down to serious business on his couch, only to find themselves interrupted by firemen knocking down Lexie's apartment door.



A delightful romance is in the offering, but a greedy landlord's shenanigans just might bring it all to a murderous end.
