About this title

From Library Journal:

Howe has created a wonderful, highly entertaining (and just a touch bizarre) pair of female sleuths, placed them in the land of all possibilities (California), and provided them with an intricate case involving old money and family skeletons. Maggie Hill, brash, unsubtle, and funny, works as temporary secretary for Ellis Kenilworth, who entrusts her with a codicil to his will and then commits suicide. When someone steals the codicil, Maggie visits the intended beneficiary. Once these two get together, clever hilarity and theatrical action ensue. A winning combination with more to come.
