Too Darn Hot: Book summary and reviews of Too Darn Hot by Sandra Scoppettone
Too Darn Hot SummaryIt’s the middle of
World War II, but not all the killing is
happening overseas. In a sweltering New
York City summer, scrappy
steno-turned-sleuth Faye Quick – kicked
upstairs when her boss ships out – takes
on a new case that would make even the
most experienced P.I. sweat bullets. It
all starts with a beautiful woman.
Heartbroken Claire Turner turns on the
waterworks in Faye’s office, begging for
help in finding her beau, Private
Charlie Ladd, gone missing while on
leave from Uncle Sam’s army. But when
Faye busts into Charlie’s hotel room,
she doesn’t find anyone–anyone alive,
that is. But where’s Charlie? Because
the corpse in the hotel room might not
be him. And that leads Faye to wonder if
the unfortunate stiff was Charlie’s
target practice. Too Darn Hot Reviews"Faye's voice is again pitch perfect,
