When Cece Cavanaugh’s husband empties their
joint bank account, steals her designer luggage,
and runs off with a younger woman, Cece must
decide whether to ask her manipulative mother-
in-law for a handout or get a job. Choosing the
easier path, Cece lands a job cleaning a crime
scene where a high school coach was murdered.
When his wife is implicated—a young woman
Cece practically raised—Cece finds herself
mopping floors, balancing an empty checkbook,
and ferreting out a killer.
Amid all this messy business, Cece bumps
heads with a handsome detective. She tries to
ignore her growing attraction to the detective, but
he gives new meaning to the term “hot flash.”
After she stumbles onto a clue that could
vindicate her friend, her elation turns to panic
when she haphazardly confronts the killer.
Through the danger and romance, Cece
discovers self-reliance and inner strength.
And that crime – at least, someone else’s – does
pay the bills.
