My Boss is A Dead Man - The Carol Frank "Boss" Mysteries, #2

My Boss is a Dead Man is the follow-up to the comic, office-based romantic suspense tale, My Boss is a Serial Killer.

Carol Frank has enough on her plate, working as the office manager at a new law firm while trying to rekindle a romance. Being suspected of murder certainly throws a monkey wrench in the works. But a bad boss from Carol's past - one her friends will know as the Psychotic Sadist - has disappeared under very mysterious circumstances, and Carol is at the top of the Kansas City Police Department's suspect list. The fact that, years ago, she might have hatched the murder plot herself does not make things any easier for her, nor does the fact that her fingerprints are on the murder weapon.

Finding the solution isn't in her job description, but Carol was never one who could leave a mystery alone. The course of her investigation reveals much more than she expected. How does one conduct a successful job interview with a kleptomaniac? Is the most prestigious law firm in town cloning its secretaries? Is it possible to fit both herself and Gus Haglund into her tiny shower stall? How does one talk to her boyfriend's ten-year-old son? And just exactly how many uses are there for a collection of glass paperweights? Once again, Carol pours all her secretarial skills into solving the puzzles of passion, greed and job interviews that emerge when she realizes My Boss is a Dead Man.
