An Uplifting Murder/Elaine Viets/293 pages

Mystery shopper Josie Marcus stumbles into yet another murder,this time in a lingerie shop. The shop is run by one of her high school teachers, and the victim is a bully from high school as well. Set in St. Louis (home of the famous "where did you go to school" question), Josie must solve the murder as well as relive some unpleasant memories from her high school past. Viets, a born and raised St. Louisan, knows the neighborhoods and surrounding cities well. It's always fun to figure out which mall, store or restaurant she is describing when she is using aliases. Always a fun, fluffy read.
