Even hot flashes and night sweats can't stop fifty-something sleuth Bel Barret from investigating a friend's murder in this delightful sixth mystery from Jane Isenberg.
Still deeply shaken by September 11 th, Professor Bel Barrett's husband Sol wants to retire to a cottage in the Hudson River Valley to escape the chaos of the city and have time to read, relax, and smell the roses. But Bel's gotten a whiff of these roses, and they smell boring. How could she leave her teaching job at the local community college and live without her beloved Hoboken?
The couple's annual block party, however, provides the diversion Sol's been looking for, and soon Bel is knee-deep in helping to choose a recipient for a scholarship given by the block association. But when one of the scholarship committee's members shows up dead after leaving the strip club where she worked nights, Bel knows that Sol's fears about the city may be right.
So Bel and her best friends dive into the investigation - disguising themselves in beards and sneaking into the strip club. And when they discover that the killer knows a little too much about them, they begin to wonder whether this stripper ripper may be one of their own . . .
