Pool shark Jessie Hewitt usually knows where the balls will fall and how the game will end. But when a body lands on her couch, and the cute cop in her kitchen accuses her of murder, even Jessie isnt sure what will happen next. She also isnt sure how to catch a killer, but shes about to learn. Her skill set doesnt exactly fit the task, however. Jessie put herself through college hustling at a pool table, and nowadays makes her living writing racy novels. This middle-aged romance author has excellent people-watching skills, a keen imagination, and street smarts going way back. Come to think of it, Jessie is the perfect sleuth. Playing With Poison is a cozy mystery with a lot of humor, a little romance, and far too much champagne. Jessie is the new sleuth that you will want to follow again and again.
