      In this uproarious, madcap novel, Mary Wilbon introduces two irresistible heroines who stumble into more trouble than they could ever imagine—think parties, booze, and stylish homicide. One character, a former cop turned security head for her girlfriend's clam conglomerate, reflects on her past while navigating a chaotic gathering at their home. With a mix of movie stars, politicians, ex-cops, and bartenders, the party is destined for disaster, especially when a friend hints at a dangerous secret. The other heroine, a rich socialite, finds herself squeezed into a mermaid costume for a Christmas party, realizing the folly of her choice. As the night unfolds, the duo faces a whirlwind of martinis, murder, embezzlement, and betrayal, all while trying to keep their lives from spiraling out of control. The narrative blends elements of humor and suspense, reminiscent of a warped version of "Sex and the City" meets "The Thin Man." Wilbon, who moved from upstate New York to pursue a Broadway career, ultimately found her niche in New Jersey, balancing a full-time job with her passion for community theater. This book is a tribute to all the talented actors who didn’t quite make it to Broadway, infused with humor and heart.
