Bridget Montrose discovers the body of a disliked developer in a dumpster.

Lora Roberts was born and raised in Missouri, She's lived for twenty years in Palo Alto, California, where her two mystery series featuring homemaker/writer Bridget Montrose and vagabond Liz Sullivan take place. After doing newspaper work, public relations work, technical editing, and romances, She really enjoys writing mysteries.
By Palo Alto's much-loved mystery writer, this title is set in Palo Alto, California, like all of them in the series. It made me laugh so hard when I was reading it on the beach in La Jolla that everyone wanted to know what I was reading!! The author writes more titles in the series under the name Lora Roberts.
Read this after I'd read everything else by Ms Roberts. I've enjoyed all of her books just about equally. This is a comparatively early work and was kind of hard to find at the time I went searching.
