Satisfaction Guaranteed. There they were, the all-American family-Lucky Mike Jensen, a born leader, with his Nordic good looks, his shrewd decision-making abilities, and his lovely wife, Caroline. Mystical, petite, and pretty as a cameo, she and Michael were a pair that would grace any governor's mansion. And then there was Miranda. The Ice Princess, the blond super-debutante, rounding out the family picture. The American Dream-good looks, old money, and a firm handshake. Sound a bit brittle, this dream come true? Read Candidate for Murder and find out, if you dare, a few disturbing facts about the Beautiful People and what they do on the maids' night out. You will be startled, you may be horrified, you will certainly be unable to put down this suspenseful teaser of a mystery. As the Jensen family tree comes crumbling down, the story evolves into much more than a simple who-done-it; the secrets here are of the human psyche, and the clues are laid by Fate. So if you've always admired or wondered about-or hated-those invisible lucky people, the class presidents and football captains and politicians, or if you happen to be among the ranks of the chosen, Candidate for Murder just might creep into your thoughts and your preconceived ideas and rattle a few of those troublesome skeletons in your closet.
