Pumped for Murder by Elaine Viets 292 pages

The newest entry in the Dead-end Job Mystery Series is a dandy. Helen Hawthorne and her new hubby, Phil have started their own private eye agency. While they are not overwhelmed with new clients, they do have a couple of jobs courtesy of their kindly landlady. It is a cold case, in which the surviving brother wants to prove that his handsome, popular brother did not commit suicide, but was murdered by a drug dealer. Helen also finds herself working at a fitness center in order to find proof that her client's husband is fooling around. Helen and Phil's relationship brings back memories of breezy film detectives Nick and Nora and Agatha Christie's Tommy and Tuppence. There is a bit of a dark secret that Helen is keeping from Phil regarding her ex's disappearance, but nothing that should seriously damage their marriage. Breezy summer reading.
