“You're about to find out why the women of Shorehaven would rather kill than miss an appointment with Dr. Bruce Fleckstein.”
An ex-newspaper woman, who is now a suburban housewife, can't resist getting involved in an investigation of the murder of a philandering dentist who had been having affairs with several of her neighbors.
