Goodreads synopsis:
Jamie Winters loathes her job as a secretary in the sleaziest law firm in New Jersey. Trouble is, someone else loathes the whole firm—enough to kill one of the partners, the two-timing, eleven-fingered king of lowbrow television commercial spots, Dougie Digits. Now, Jamie is being strong-armed into investigating by Dougie's frosty widow, Hilary. The suspect list is long, including the firm's bookish paralegal, embezzling bookkeeper, ambitious associate, and resentful senior partners. Add to that list a mélange of oddball clients with grudges of their own, and Jamie has her work cut out for her. With assists from her studly landlord and husband-hungry sister, Jamie uncovers enough dirt on her coworkers to launch a tabloid in her hunt to find the killer...before he or she strikes again!

This book took a bit to get into. I think that happens with a lot of novels that are the first in a series. Once I got the gist of who was who, I enjoyed the story more.
I felt for the main character who was in a job that wasn't quite a fit for her but she stayed out of the security of it all. Then when the creepy, overbearing wife of the victim asks her to solve the murder... how can she say no?
I thought the plot was interesting and it kept me guessing. It also gave me a bit of stress when Jamie was plodding through her suspect list while trying to keep it all on the DL.
I definitely had a hankering to keep up with the series and bought a few more books in this series line. Check it out.
I paid for this book with my own money.
