I read this book this weekend and was pretty disappointed, I have to say. She sounds like a meddling SAHM, fwiw, who managed to turn it into a paid gig.

Not yet. I Googled the name of the victim and couldn't find anything on the case. I am friends with her on Facebook and have chatted with her a couple of times, she seems nice enough.
