Read a Review:

Psychologist Jessica LeFave is still mourning the death of her husband, David, a few months earlier and frustrated that the police refuse to believe he was murdered. A chance to prove the truth comes unexpectedly when one of David's patients, (David was a psychiatrist) is murdered along with her husband, Harrell. Jessica thinks the murders are linked to David's death, but finding the truth isn't easy. Jackson offspring, Ruthie and Hank, are terribly messed up adults surrounded by people who may or may not have their best interests at heart. Jessica, however, is desperate and obsessed.
 
Too Rich & Too Thin takes the reader on a humorous adventure filled with mishaps as Jessica tries to investigate without much support from the police. On a deeper level, author Barbara DeShong explores the pain and anguish of family dysfunction, and the lengths some people will go to gain love, respect, and a positive self-image.
 
The novel was filled with entertaining, eccentric characters and this whodunit kept me guessing the killer's identity to the end. In hindsight, there were enough carefully plotted clues to have figured it out, but I'm just not much good at this. I loved Jessica and her best friend George, and hope to read about many more of her adventures in the future.
