6. Finally finished Pumped for Murder, # 10 in Dead End Job Mysteries

I did not do much reading this week. We have been bingeing Murdock Mysteries and 800 WOrds on Acorn, and my obsession with the Van Cliburn Piano Competition have gotten in the way of my reading.

PUMPED FOR MURDER
Newly married, Helen can’t wait to life anew—and start an agency with her PI hubby, Phil. Her penchant for working dead-end jobs comes in handy when they’re hired to look into a fitness fanatic who may be cheating on his wife. Taking a receptionist job at their subject’s gym, Helen soon discovers that she has to start pumping iron if she wants to keep an eye on the weight-lifting lothario. With her past finally behind her, Helen is all set to start sleuthing for real. But if she wants to make a living of it, she’s going to have to do some heavy lifting…

I am going to take a break from series, and read a couple of stand alones which grabbed me from the get go when I read the sample.
