Mood Swings to Murder: A Bel Barrett Mystery

About this book

Dead Ringer for a Dead Singer Fifty-something New Jersey community college professor Bel Barret has had enough "changes of life" lately to last her a lifetime. Her daughter has cheerfully announced her pregnancy and her impending marriage in a single e-mail. Her son has come back home to find himself but all hes found so far is the TV remote. Even a romantic stroll covering the Hoboken waterfront with live-in love Sol can do nothing to stabilize Bels menopausal mood swings--especially when they stumble across the corpse of a stranger in the night who turns out to be...Frank Sinatra? Actually the bogus Blue Eyes was one Louie Palumbo a sorry imitation of the late local icon. And since Louie had been dating and two-timing one of Bels favorite students the unfortunate co-ed is now the prime suspect in Palumbos slaying. Bels determined to go all the way to rout out the real killer. But that means plunging estrogen patch-first into the strange world of obsessive Sinatra worship--a move that could prove to be something stupid...maybe even fatal!
