About the Book

Claire Malloy--now a married woman of leisure--tries her hand at volunteering, but instead lands her right in the middle of another murder investigation Longtime bookseller and single mother, Claire Malloy has recently married her long term beau and moved out of her less than opulent apartment into a sprawling, newly remodeled house. Her daughter, Caron, is making plans for college. All of which leaves Claire with something she hasn't had in quite a while: spare time. When her attempts to learn French cooking start getting "mixed" reviews, she agrees to help Caron and her best friend Inez in fluffing up their college applications by volunteering as an ESL tutor with the Farberville Literacy Council. But her modest effort to give back quickly becomes a nightmare when she's railroaded onto the Board of Directors of the troubled nonprofit. Vandalism, accusations of embezzlement, epic budget problems, and a cacophony of heavily-accented English speakers are just the tip of the iceberg. Just as she decides that it might be best to extricate herself, Claire gets a frantic call from her husband, Deputy Chief Peter Rosen. One of the students, an older Russian woman named Ludmilla, famed for her unpleasantness, has been murdered in the offices of the Farberville Literary Council. For the first time ever, Peter actually asks Claire for her help, and Hess brings a new depth to this fan-favorite series, in Murder as a Second Language.

Stop reading this nonsense and hop to it. You'll see wit and humanity all wrapped up in a nifty murder mystery." --Harlan Coben on JOAN HESS AND THE CLAIRE MALLOY SERIES "Delightful...worthy of Hercule Poirot in the classic Death on the Nile." --Publishers Weekly on Mummy Dearest on JOAN HESS AND THE CLAIRE MALLOY SERIES "A good substitute for a trip to Egypt." --Deadly Pleasures on Mummy Dearest on JOAN HESS AND THE CLAIRE MALLOY SERIES "Hess fans will find much to entertain them..." --Publishers Weekly on Damsels in Distress on JOAN HESS AND THE CLAIRE MALLOY SERIES "Lively, sharp, irreverent." --The New York Times Book Review on Poisoned Pins on JOAN HESS AND THE CLAIRE MALLOY SERIES "Larcenous shenanigans...breezy throughout." --Chicago Tribune on Poisoned Pins on JOAN HESS AND THE CLAIRE MALLOY SERIES "With her wry asides, Claire makes a most engaging narrator. The author deftly juggles the various plot strands...the surprising denouement comes off with éclat." --Publishers Weekly on Out on a Limb on JOAN HESS AND THE CLAIRE MALLOY SERIES "A winning blend of soft-core feminism, trendy subplots, and a completely irreverent style that characterizes both the series and the sleuth." --Houston Chronicle on JOAN HESS AND THE CLAIRE MALLOY SERIES "A wildly entertaining series." --Mystery Scene on JOAN HESS AND THE CLAIRE MALLOY SERIES "Joan Hess is one of the best mystery writers in the world.
