Murder Can Run Your Stockings
Selma Eichler

Flying home from a friend’s wedding in Minneapolis, Desiree is seated alongside an attorney traveling to New York for a funeral. It seems his beloved Aunt Bessie died from a fall down the basement steps. Before long, however, the man begins to suspect that the accidental tumble wasn’t any accident, and he prevails upon Manhattan’s most warm- hearted and weighty PI to uncover the truth.

Desiree learns that a number of people might have been eager for Aunt Bessie to rest in peace, including her own son; his conniving, butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-her-mouth fiancée; and a seventyish cousin who may—or may not—be harboring a bizarre secret. But it isn’t only a crafty killer that Desiree’s hoping to reel in. There’s also her neighbor Nick, whose tepid relationship with Desiree finally starts to simmer...
