Synopsis
When 25-year-old Wendy Winkworth decides to take a break from her PI business and visit her brother in Bern, Illinois, she simply wants to catch up on family affairs. Soon family affairs have her in over her head. She's hired by a teacher to find out if his ex-con mother is going to show up and ruin his chances of marrying the love of his life and the richest girl in town. Wendy's mechanic brother appears to be thieving on the side. And the local sheriff is trailing her, either because he likes her looks or because he wants her to stop looking too closely at what's going on in town. Then two young men die and a boy goes missing, and Wendy is plunged into a murder investigation that may make her the next victim.

Review
In "Bubbles, Roses, and Rump," Wendy Winkworth, Private Eye Extraordinaire, is visiting the brother Norris in Bern, Illinois, when a hot case drops in her lap. A man wants to find his real mother before she gets in the way of him marrying his sweetheart. The year is 1951. The weather is hot. The talk is fast and furious. This delightful period mystery is a frothy romp of a book. . . . the language good enough to eat. And when the bananas flambé go flying, watch out! -Mary Logue, author of the Claire Watkins mystery series
