With any luck-and with plucky Juliet doing all she can-Heavenly will learn what she can about her sister's death and, if possible, bring the killer to justice. But it's hard going undercover when you're a tall, gorgeous transsexual.Ayelet Waldman, a Harvard Law School graduate and former public defender, is the author of Love and Other Impossible Pursuits, Daughter's Keeper, and Red Hook Road as well as the Mommy-Track Mysteries, including such titles as Death Gets a Time-Out and A Playdate with Death.
