Enjoyable.

In an attempt to attract more business Nora Charles has put up a TV in her lunchroom. More people come in, to watch TV (as if they don't have a set in their own home), but most are too preoccupied with the moving pictures to order at the counter.

Perhaps for the better, as Nora herself is a little too preoccupied with trying to solve a murder to run her business. It's good thing her friend Chantal is there to man the counter or Nora would probably not have a business anymore. (Why Chantal is manning the counter at Nora's lunchroom rather than at her own shop is not mentioned in this story. Perhaps in one of the previous books.)

Famous author is found dead in her rental home. She's an unlikable person that has shafted many people in the past, yet she knew delicate secrets of many of these people. Secrets that could cost these people their livelihoods if they were ever revealed. And reveal is what the author is about to do. She's written a tell-all book.

Naturally, there is no shortage of suspects. And Nora and cat Nick are set on finding out who did it. Or rather, prove it wasn't the former writing partner that was best friends with Nora's mother.

I have a few minor gripes with this book, such a cat in the kitchen or on the counter of a place that sells food; a cat that always seems to have a few scrabble tiles about to see something that can't be transferred in a meow; and Nora deciding she must confront the killer because there is not enough evidence to present the case to a jury. As there is no court date set yet, I think there is plenty of time for the police and DA to build a case based on the evidence there is.

I liked the interaction with Ollie, tough.

I read an ARC through NetGalley.
