The Fortieth Birthday Body (Susan Henshaw Book 2)
<b>Down-to-earth housewife Susan Henshaw is turning forty—and feeling ancient.</b> <br> <br>Adding insult to injury is the unfortunate return of gorgeous local hussy Dawn Elliot, rumoured to have slept with half the neighbourhood of quiet Hancock, Connecticut…the married male half anyway. <br> <br>To lift her sagging spirits, Susan’s loving husband throws her a surprise party to end all surprise parties. And for one guest, it was the end. Dawn turns up dead, giving new meaning to the phrase “party pooper.” <br> <br>There appears to be an endless array of suspects, including Susan herself. And so begins an intense investigation that will crack the seemingly peaceful veneer of suburbia wide open... <br> <br><h2>Praise for Valerie Wolzien:</h2> <br><b>'[Wolzien has] a nice writing style and considerable wit' - <em>Chicago Tribune</em> <br> <br>Valerie Wolzien</b> is the author of the Susan Henshaw suburban mysteries and the <em>Josie Pigeon</em> seashore mysteries.
