Product Description
Product Description
These days Ginger Struve Barnes, who's been known to solve a crime or two on Philadelphia's affluent Main Line, has troubles of her own. Her husband is acting very distant, and her teenaged daughter is flirting with an eating disorder. Now, Gin is nosing into the dark shadows of the community. What she finds will blow the lid of respectability from her upper-crust neighbors' lives--and bring a killer too close to home.
Ingram
Struggling with her husband's withdrawal and her daughter's eating disorder, Ginger Barnes becomes involved in a series of break-ins and robberies that culminate in a shocking act of violence.

Engaging and Fun!, Jan 3 2012
By WEB - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: School of Hard Knocks (Mass Market Paperback)
Murray's heroine, the plucky impulsive Ginger Barnes, is a full-time wife and mom who slyly reconciles her son to his failure to make the track team, gives affordable wine-and-cheese parties, walks the family dog, plants impatiens by the dozen, and housecleans for the elderly neighborhood eccentric. In School of Hard Knocks, the never-neurotic ever-resourceful housewife deals with a rash of bludgeonings (one fatal), financial hanky-panky, a series of anonymous threats, and the mystery of her hubby's inattentiveness. Familiar locales are well-observed and minor characters especially pungent.

Very entertaining!, Nov 21 2011
By Moffat - Published on Amazon.com
Great fun to read. I especially loved the next-door neighbor and her antics. She's my favorite character, too. The ending doesn't disappoint!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Terrific mystery, Nov 11 2011
By Juliette - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: School of Hard Knocks (Mass Market Paperback)
I live in the area where this story takes place, so I can easily imagine the fuss Letty and her dilapidated old mansion would cause. And, of course, mugging and murder next door freak out everybody everywhere. It's an engaging mystery with fascinating characters.
Listmania!
