Feisty Old Gangbusters Cynthia Weitz

In Feisty Old Gangbusters, the highly anticipated sequel to Feisty Old Ladies, Margot Manning, the still glamorous, dazzling and fun-loving Fashionista, once again turns accidental sleuth to solve mysteries and crimes. Having cracked the cases in the first mystery, Margot and the two other feisty old ladies, Nancy and Jane, create FOL Enterprises, an eponymous fashion house in the Mercado, a magnificent Spanish Colonial historic building where they design and fabricate clothing for the senior set. The sequel opens with Margot tripping over the body of their murdered foreman in the parking lot. Once she recovers from her injuries, Margot is determined to find out why Juan was murdered and who done it. Dangers escalate when the feisty ladies are harassed and threatened by neighborhood homies. Are they the ones responsible for Juan's death? And what other nefarious deeds are happening right under Margot's nose? New and former characters come together in a tale of comedy and romance, glitz and glamour, good food and frolic, that teems with suspense. Hans, Margot's dashing, continental beau, despairs over her escapades and worries about her safety. He has fits when she takes a fancy to Felipe, an adorable eight-year-old, who lives in a run-down building next to the factory with his madre and gang member brother. Even so, Margot and Hans plan a posh wedding and a honeymoon in Denmark. Halfway through the mystery, when Margot crosses a criminal gang, she and her partners find themselves in deep trouble. Only by using their wits, can they hope to escape.
