Maggie is the most sarcastic, dry witted sleuth I have ever read about. When she has her septic tank cleaned out because the toilet isn't working right, the sanitation worker discovers a body in the bottom of her tank. She does what she is supposed to do and calls the police. The police treat her as prime suspect #1. After repeating her story several times to several different officers, she gets fed up and tells them anything but the truth. She dances around, sidesteps and dodges any and all direct questions. She decides that the only way she can get the police to leave her alone is to solve the murder herself.Villari is the homicide detective in charge of solving this crime. Maggie is a huge frustration for him and yet he can't help admiring her strength and determination in dealing with the murder. He already knows that she is an amateur sleuth, but he doesn't want her to get hurt. He is also attracted to her and her attitude.This book was absolutely hilarious from Maggie's dry sense of humor to the quirky relatives who stood to gain from the decedent's death. A very fun,entertaining, and enjoyable read.
