Death Of A Saleswoman (Death Motors)

My life plan checklist was:

Finish my Ph.D. in Popular Culture

Find a job as a tenured professor (I wish)

Buy a house (HA)

Adopt a cat

Not on my life checklist:

Move in with my 72 year old grandfather, Lando

Get a job selling cars

Find a dead blonde in a convertible

My new checklist

Solve her murder, so the police don't suspect me

Avoid becoming the next victim

My colleagues in academia think I'm unemployed. I refuse to use my academic title in the car business. I'm Dr. Violet Landovic, and I sell cars.
