Meet Lilly Rose Cleary, a wonderful new sleuth, and her incredibly talented creator, Claire Matturro, in this charming debut novel.
Lilly is a tough-as-nails partner working in a Sarasota, Florida, law firm representing fat-cat physicians in malpractice cases. A woman big on keeping her options open, Lilly is also an obsessive-compulsive health nut who has a bad habit of tripping over dead bodies.
After representing a client in a kayak whiplash case, she almost suffers a case of her own when she's ambushed at her office door. Who would want to attack a tofu-eating attorney? And why? Lilly has a most unorthodox - and hilarious - way of finding out. |

My favorite obsessive-compulsive detective is back!
Lillian Belle Rosemary Cleary is a tough-as-nails attorney who is a junior partner in a big Sarasota law firm. Her latest client, Gandhi Singh, is a dyed-hair, salon-tanned man wearing a long bright yellow silk Nehru jacket whose chosen profession was ripping off gullible people, usually middle-aged rich women, who thought they could talk to their dead husbands and live cats through Gandhi. His most recent specialty was counseling women who thought they had been kidnapped by Martians and had lingering emotional problems as a result. And, oddly enough, he has no lack of clients in this specialty.
Gandhi predicts that Lilly will have big problems very soon, and immediatety thereafter, her ex-boyfriend Dave shows up on her doorstep with a truck load of stolen wine from a Sarasota Wineyard. While trying to get and keep Dave out of jail, Lilly trips over the dead body of one of the senior partners of her firm, and gets sucked into the investigation.
Matturro writes with the same entertaining, humorous style that characterized the first book in the series, Skinny-dipping. Her tongue-in-cheek comments about lawyers, the law, Sarasota, Florida, and men in general are chuckle-out-loud good. All the while she tends to get herself into such bizarre predicaments because of her compulsions regarding food, germs, cleanliness, and pesticides. Never has mental illness seemed so charming as when in the grips of a Claire Matturro book featuring Lilly Cleary.
