Lainee Delaney: Bathing Beauties: Lainee Delaney Series, Vol. 2 (Volume 2)

Lainee Delaney, private investigator by choice and substitute teacher by necessity, is back in action. Her ever-faithful, potbellied pool guy, Mr. Harrison, is in trouble. His marriage is on the rocks and his son is accused of brutal attacks on women. Sharp on book sense but dull on experience, Lainee takes on both challenges. She's helped along the way by her best friend, Marsha, and occasionally burdened by the newly appointed police detective in town. A situation made worse by the fact that he's Conrad Bartholomew Thorpe, III, Lainee's ex-boyfriend from high school. While tracking the killer through Texas, Lainee comes to grips with her past and keeps her eye on the future, handling it all with hefty doses of Southern belle logic and humor.
