Carole Capobianco has always counted her blessings, but it's even more fun now that she and her husband Frank are finally making serious money, thanks to Frank's newly patented Bye-Bye Toilet. With the kids finally on their own, Carole and Frank are empty-nesters, which will give her uninterrupted time to add to her impressive shoe collection-and lavish care on Poopsie, her beloved, very spoiled Brittany spaniel. The cherry on top is a hefty bid on a luxury co-op in a prestige building . . .
But that dream is quickly flushed when the offer is refused by venture capitalist Hosea Brown. Hearing the claim that the Capobiancos won't fit into their wealthy, snooty community, Frank is outraged enough to roar something about killing that "old Yankee" on his way out the door. Three months later, Carole is shocked by the news that Hosea has been bludgeoned to death.
When Carole learns Hosea was one of the backers of a big new construction project for which Frank's company has also been contracted, she's worried. And that worry grows with every new twist in the case that's discovered. Armed with her favorite Jimmy Choos and her beloved, if quirky, Poopsie, Carole sets out to clear Frank's name-and just maybe save their lives . . .
