About In$ured to the Hilt (A John Smith Mystery #1) by Charlotte Stuart:
Murder with a laugh track!
In spite of being as nondescript as his name, John Smith is everyone’s inner klutz. He drives a yolk-yellow Saturn, has a penchant for singing commercials while driving, is easily duped by curvy women, lets his eccentric mother boss him around, and still manages to solve crimes using what most would label as unorthodox methods.
As a claims adjuster, John Smith is aware that everyone wants to make money off of insurance. In In$ured to the Hilt this includes a greedy claimant and her voluptuous daughter, an overly ambitious administrative assistant, a desperate insurance agent, an executive obsessed with his reputation, and a truculent teenager whose reckless actions become the catalyst for murder.
In the end, they are all “insured to the hilt,” some more literally than others. Available now for $.99.
