In fact, she was mean, greedy, and paranoid—so paranoid that she secretly slipped a clause into her will mandating that, should she die an unnatural death, all the family assets get frozen. And if the &“unnatural death&” isn&’t explained? Those accounts stay frozen. Practically overnight, Pomona is locked out of her penthouse with no other option than to move in with a roommate: Gabe, the irritable (yet handsome) son of her former nanny. Not only is his apartment cramped, but it doesn&’t even have a doorman. Or a chef! Pom needs someone to solve this murder, like, yesterday, so she can get her trust fund back. And Gabe? He needs this murder solved because that&’s the only way his mother, who toiled for the Afton family for years, will ever get the retirement money she deserves. As Pom&’s family clams up, blocking the police at every turn, Pom quickly realizes that if she wants her glamorous life back, she&’s going to have to put on her big-girl Manolos and do it herself…with the help of Gabe, who she&’s falling for more and more by the day. Can Pomona Afton (who previously couldn&’t solve a crossword in the bath on a hungover Sunday) actually solve this murder? And if she does return to her former life of luxury, will it be worth the possibility of losing Gabe?

And Cheese can&’t help but encourage it—at least until his wife and John&’s ex descend on Florida.Ponder is the second novel from Daniel Roberts, author of the USA Today bestselling Bar Maid, and showcases the same sardonic style that Kirkus praised as &“old-school, slightly surreal humor [that] has a dash of Barthelme or Perelman.&”
