Karl Karlson-whom Paulette bested in their first murder investigation-thinks Jimmy killed their haughty co-worker, Deborah Alston, AKA "The Princess."While Paulette and The Princess recently argued, Paulette didn't do the deed. "I'm judgmental, not homicidal," she says. And although Paulette is sure Jimmy didn't do it either, she jumps in to solve the case and prove Karlson wrong...again.In the process, Paulette has to fend off the advances of her one-night-stand addicted boss and brush off the help of her best friend, Claudie, who keeps pushing to be her crime-fighting sidekick.
