The personal assistant to L.A. investigator Dex Theroux, Kitty Pangborn finds herself doing her job and the boss's too, following leads and suspicious characters while Dex drinks his demons to sleep. But this feisty Gal Friday is soon up to her pretty neck in hot water in what should have been a routine wayward husband case.
"Reading Death Was the Other Woman was like stumbling across a long-lost and wonderful Orson Welles flick. It's a pitch-perfect story of Depression-era L.A. that's so damn good I recommend calling in sick to work and making a plate of sandwiches before you start reading, because you won't want to put it down for anything—including such petty concerns as food, drink, sleep, and oncoming Packards and locomotives."—Cornelia Read
