Murder Can Ruin Your Looks
by Selma Eichler

Desiree Shapiro, New York's full-figured P.I., is dead set against taking another murder case. But her old friend Peter Winters just needs her to figure out who got killed. His fiancée, Mary-Ann, and her identical twin, Meredith, were brutally shot in their posh condo. One sister lies in the morgue. The other is in a coma. Nobody knows which of the once-beautiful blondes survived. So Desiree agrees to snoop around Meredith's fellow actors at a very offbeat, Off-Off Broadway theater and cannily question Mary Ann's friends and sleazy ex-lover, in locales from Uptown to Jersey. And as the chilling picture emerges, lies, greed, and betrayal prove that looks are deceiving and increasingly dangerous—especially for New York's funniest, chubbiest gumshoe.
