The First Tootsie Goldberg Mystery
When She’s Hot
When she gets pushed too far, even her hot flashes won’t hold her back.
Tootsie Goldberg was never one to rock the boat. Witnessing tragedy after a seemingly harmless protest taught the Jersey native to keep her mouth shut, even when she’s fuming. But when her elderly coworkers lose their radio station jobs due to a shady business deal, this feisty fifty-year-old decides it’s never too late to use her smart mouth for something other than talking in circles.
Standing up for her friends lights a fire in her to confront injustice, starting with the questionable new owners of the station. But being a sassy sleuth sometimes means tweaking the rules. And as her fight for the little guy garners the delicious attention of a stoic and sexy cop, can Tootsie toe the line between what’s right and what’s legal?
When She Gets Hot is the scorchingly witty first book in the Tootsie Goldberg amateur sleuth series. If you like strong Jewish female leads, a dash of danger, and spicy heroines over fifty, then you’ll love Miriam Allenson’s later-in-life take on growing older and bolder.
