Thirty-year-old culture matron Lola Woodby has survived her loveless marriage with an unholy combination of highballs, detective novels, and chocolate part wedding cake until her hubby dies suddenly, going out of her his bundle of money, or so Lola thinks. As it turns out, all she inherits from Alfie is a huge pile of personal debt. Soon Lola and her stalwart Swedish cook, Berta, are reduced to covering out in the trick love nest Alfie placed in New York City. But when hire comes scheduled, Lola and Berta haven't any choice but to accept an offer made by one of Alfie's women on the side at his funeral: In trade for a attractive sum of money, the girl wishes Lola to get a secret reel of film for her. It sounds like a simple enough way to earn the hire money. But Lola and Berta realize they're in way over their heads when, before they can get it, the man currently in ownership of the film reel is murdered, and the reel disappears. On the quest to get the reel and solve the murder prior to the killer employs them next, Lola and Berta find themselves navigating one wacky situation after another in high style and low company. Charming, witty, often laugh-out-loud funny, Maia Chance's Come Hell or Highball presents a sparkling new tone of voice in crime fiction.
