Mel's mother, Joyce, is thrilled to have a date after many years of being widowed. She picks out a stunning dress, a dress to "give a man a heart attack". When her date ends up dead - not from a heart attack, but murdered, Joyce is the prime suspect. Joyce insists she is innocent and it's up to Mel to find the murderer to clear her mom. Mel's main suspect may be the man's son, a rock star, who is crazy about her partner, Angie. Angie's new love has helped convince Tate that he has been overlooking Angie all of these years, but Mel is concerned that Angie may be in love with a murderer.
I absolutely loved the first book in this series. I wasn't quite as crazy about this one. A few things bothered me. First, there was this ongoing thing that all of Mel's friends and family kept commenting on the fact that she and Joe hadn't had sex yet. Eww! Who's mom brings up such things. I didn't think it was all that cute. Secondly, the murder plot was a little thin. Sometimes, Joyce was sure someone was following her. At other times, it doesn't seem like there is any danger at all. Still, I will probably read the next book. Oh, and the cliffhanger...kind of annoying since this was part of the storyline for the entire book.
Rating - B
