And of course Bonnie who takes no prisoners and tells Chelsey she needs to let her kitten out…her sex kitten that is.Īnd with any good mystery there is a love romance. There is Babs, the older lady that calls her and lets her know that the Tooth Fairy is running a cemetery in the land across from her house. There are also some fun characters, like Mike Nero – a former classmate of Chelsey’s that has decided he is in love with her and is basically stalking her. Needless to say I was quite shocked at the turn of events. I’m not going to say much more because I do not want to ruin the book for anyone. Boy was I wrong! Not only was there a HUGE reveal, it was characters I didn’t expect to be “dirty”. We knew that the council members (or at least a few of them) were corrupt and were being paid off or paying others off to get what they wanted done, or what the developers wanted done. That said….while I was reading the book, I was trying to figure out how this was a mystery. I felt like there was enough of the back story to catch me up enough to not feel lost. Well I think this is probably the first book in a long time that I didn’t feel totally lost on the personal story. LOVED this book! I hadn’t read the first book and if you have read my blog for any amount of time you know that I MUST read the books in order in a series, if only to understand better the personal stories of the characters. She thinks she’s doing the right thing, but can she save herself when she becomes entrenched too deep in this Jersey shore mystery?

because Municipal Clerk Chelsey Alton is at it again! Working for a government riddled with crime, she and her sidekick Bonnie investigate to find out the answer to the pressing question: Who killed Vinny Buttiglieri? She finds herself entangled with dangerous mobsters and corrupt politicians.
