Synopsis

The Tarzana Hookers are a motley crew of women, all of whom are not afraid to speak their minds. Except Sheila, a timid, anxiety-ridden crocheter in desperate need of money, who sells her beautiful scarves at a local consignment store. When the owner stiffs Sheila, the boisterous ladies rally to her support. Then the shop owner is found dead. Molly Pink ignores the warnings from her homicide-detective boyfriend and sets out with her stitch mates to clear Sheila's name.

Goodreads review by Traci on June 03, 2010

This book was nowhere near as enjoyable as the first. I just can't connect with the characters--Molly is supposed to be a 50ish widow, but she acts more like she's twenty.

She is a smart woman who somehow manages to figure out the 'who done it' while almost getting herself killed in the process. She has a gro......more
