In her latest mystery treat the award-winning author of The Thin Woman and The Widows Club dishes up a deliciously wicked souffle of suspense, motherhood--and of course--murder....
Several pounds heavier--and gaining--blissful mother-to-be Ellie Haskell knows her days as a thin woman are numbered. Time to let out her clothes, put up her feet, and prepare to enjoy the next nine months as a pampered wife. But the first pangs of morning sickness have barely passed when Ellie's handsome husband, Ben, is invited to compete for membership in the world's most exclusive secret society of chefs, and suddenly Ellie finds herself whisked off to America--to Mud Creek, Illinois--and to a gothic mansion straight out of a horror movie.
Immortalized years ago in a Hollywood film starring a sexy actress who happens to have the leading role iri this season's bestselling expose, Monster Mommy, Melancholy Mansion is no place for a woman in Ellie's delicate condition. Within its shadowy confines, danger lurks behind every chafing dish. And when murder is suddenly added to the menu, it falls to amateur sleuth Ellie to serve up an unsavory killer with a taste for foul play.
