Found on a bookshelf in the Colorado Welcome Center in Lamar, Colorado.

Tart-tongued and shrewd, Blanche is unique in the field of amateur sleuths: a queen-sized, middle-aged black woman rooted in working-class America. In her latest adventure Blanche gets suckered into standing in as cook-housekeeper to Allister Brindle, a Boston Brahmin politician, and his do-gooder wife. Blanche is quickly enmeshed in a scandal that moves from the Brindles' house (a.k.a. Prozac House) to her own black community as she tries to figure out the truth behind the death of a young black man. Hot on the trail, she encounters a love triangle with bent angles, teen pregnancy, phony spirituality, and at least one person who doesn't mean her any good.

Off to bookczuk for the new Library at her new home.

Received today from heartthumper as a contribution to the book exchange shelves here at The Bristol, which is also an UnofficialBCZ for BookCrossing. Thank you so much! Hope someone snaps this book from the UBCZ and keeps it travelling!

Released to the shelves of the reading room at The Bristol on Lockwood, here in Charleston.

An author I was not familiar with. I enjoyed her feisty character or Blanche White. Blanche is trying to raise her sisters children with a community and moral responsibility while trying to right wrongs in her work place and personally. It makes for a good read.
