Poor Lola! Lola, Lola, Lola! Lola is a high society matron in 1923 and
her cheating lowlife of a husband dies of a heart attack but leaves her
penniless! How dare he! Lola has only managed to survive the marriage
by having alcohol, chocolate and mystery novels. (My kind of woman!) Now
what is to become of her?
Lola manages to soldier on by partnering with her sturdy and worldly Swedish
cook, Berta, and agrees to find a certain reel of movie film for one of her
husband's former mistresses. What happens next is a hilarious key-stone
cop type of adventure! Berta falls for a gangster, Lola
has someone trying to kill her, causing her to hang by her girdle from a gargoyle, and finds herself attracted to the P. I. who is
following her.
I loved this book because rather than being a dark, psychological thriller,
it was a funny, charming mystery. It made me laugh out loud! Just
like Janet Evanovich!
