Domestic Affairs — Lane Stone

Aging Georgia beauty queensâ€"â€"Leigh, Tara, and Victoriaâ€"â€"are at it again! When they arrive at a restaurant for a meeting with a potential client (whom they've designated Pop Tart) for their budding private eye firm Tiara Investigations, they find the man deadâ€"â€"face down in a bowl of salsa. What's going on? The man was only concerned about his daughter's husband's fidelity, but this death has all the trappings of murder. Before the trio can wave queen-like, the restaurant manager and the police arrive, and they are only able to surreptitiously grab a few clues from the crime scene. When the threesome gather the next day to attend Tara's boyfriend's stepfather's funeral, they are aghast to discover that their dead almost-client is the honoree. Soon, more coincidences occur as the dead man disappears, then reappears. The girls put their beautifully coiffed heads together to discuss the clues they've gathered to Pop Tart's murder. Just what is the meaning of the strange terms he wrote on his napkin? Just what is the significance of the words the waiter overheard him mutter before he died? And why is Homeland Security involved? Will these clues lead to nowhere or will Tiara Investigations put it all together, find the killer, and save the day? They can and they will, because for this bevy of beauties, it's more than just DOMESTIC AFFAIRS.
