Our fly fishing sleuth's politican girlfriend is running for governor and can't see him anymore. At loose ends, an advertising company wants to use his place for an advertising campaign. There just happen to be some beautiful models involved. I guess his place is 101 miles from Montpelier?

Anyway, there's an obnoxious lady who is head of the project. Soon enough she dies mysteriously. The ad campaing, of course, keeps on rolling.

Our sleuth also acts like a jerk, boinks a model, and solves the case. Very 90's Clinton-esque.

It was silly and easy to read. Great for taking the mind away from things for a minute.
