Brigadoom — Susan Goodwill

Is Kate London suffering from "postromantic stress disorder" when she attacks Mayor Balfours, her cheating fiancé, with a golf cart? Maybe she should have counted to ten before sending him tumbling down a hill inside a port-o-john.

Kate can handle her sentence: anger management classes from a deranged instructor. What really hurts is the mayor's paybackâ€"condemning her Aunt Kitty's beloved Egyptian Theater on the brink of a grand re-opening. By the next day, Kate's fury turns to shock when she finds the mayor's Tidy Bowl-stained body . . . dead in the trunk of her car.

If Kitty, a former B-list movie star, has taught Kate anything, it's that the show must go on. With a murder charge pending, Kate wears out her Jimmy Choos trying to find the killer and save the family theater . . . when love makes a surprise appearance.
