Mi chiamo Addison Holmes e insegno storia alla James Madison High di Whiskey Bayou, Georgia. La mia vita è quasi andata a gambe all’aria quando il mio fidanzato mi ha mollata sull’altare per mettersi con l’insegnante di economia domestica, o quando mi hanno comunicato che il condominio dove vivevo sarebbe stato demolito, o quando, ridotta alla disperazione, ho deciso di spogliarmi per guadagnare qualche dollaro extra. Magari lo penserete anche voi ma la verità è che me ne capita una dietro l’altra. Ormai ci sono abituata. Anche se avrei fatto volentieri a meno di trovare il cadavere del mio preside nel parcheggio di uno squallido club per soli uomini. Davanti al mio primo cadavere, dopo lo shock iniziale e una quantità imprecisata di Jack Daniel’s, ho deciso di riprendere in mano la mia vita. La situazione era drammatica e se il consiglio scolastico avesse scoperto che avevo fatto la spogliarellista, per quanto con pessimi risultati, oltre che senza fidanzato e senza casa mi sarei ritrovata anche senza lavoro. Per fortuna, la mia amica, mossa a compassione, mi ha offerto alcuni incarichi di sorveglianza per conto della sua agenzia investigativa. Così, adesso, ho un buon motivo per ficcare il naso negli affari degli altri, trovare un assassino e imparare qualche trucchetto utile da un detective incredibilmente attraente.
