When She Gets Smart

Miriam Allenson

Meddling in bad guy business could put this sassy female sleuth on a hit list. Will her gritty persistence land her in a pair of cement overshoes?

Tootsie Goldberg will happily raise hell for a good cause. So when the over fifty firecracker smells something shady shaping up at town hall, she sticks her canny nose into some decidedly fishy bid-rigging. And after her close friend gets fingered as the fall guy, the cheeky woman keeps digging until she stumbles onto a mob connection.

Facing antisemitic antagonists, money-hungry mayors, and her hot cop significant other who's worried she's walking into danger, Tootsie resolves to root out the small-scale scandal before it spreads. But as she doggedly chases clues, a shocking warning shows up on her very own doorstep.

Has she got the chutzpah to clean up the mess before she's forced to swim with the fishes?

When She Gets Smart is the laugh-out-loud second book in the Tootsie Goldberg amateur sleuth series. If you like strong-willed heroines, relatable characters and sharp-as-a-tack banter, then you'll love Miriam Allenson's warm-hearted mystery.

About the Author

Allenson, Miriam: -

Award-winning author Miriam Allenson writes about smart-mouthed women and the men who love them. (She's been told she's a little smart-mouthed herself.)

Miriam took a dog's age and then some to publish her first book, FOR THE LOVE OF THE DAME. She cut the time it took her to write her next book, A DUKE FOR DESSERT, in half and she reduced it by half again in writing WHEN THE DUKE FINDS HIS HEART. She apologizes for being so slow.

When Miriam is not working on a book-which is almost never--she's in the kitchen baking something, gardening on her "huge" 8'x4' deck, or adding one more character to her 400+ Pez collection. She likes licorice but not chocolate, polenta more than pizza, and baseball any day over football.

Miriam lives in northern New Jersey with her fabulous, supportive husband, Andy. One day they're going to take a cruise around the world. She'll still take her laptop with her.
