Tory Bauer is overweight, over-forty and not overly ambitious. She works as a waitress at the Delphi Cafe, run by the enigmatic, chain-smoking Aphrodite.
It's Halloween and all the gals at the Delphi are in costumes featuring characters from "The Wizard of Oz" and Tory is dressed as a munchkin. The day has barely begun when Tory discovers that one of the customers has passed away in the bathroom. And it turns out to be Aphrodite's husband! No one in Delphi knew that Aphrodite was married. Then before the body is even cold, in marches Aphrodite's stepdaughter and her son. Next thing we know, there's another dead body and Tory takes steps to uncover the killer.
I enjoyed this story and am looking forward to another Tory Bauer mystery.
