Description
Blanche on the Lam: A Blanche White Mystery by Barbara Neely is a groundbreaking crime novel that introduces one of the most memorable and original characters in mystery fiction. When an employer stiffed her, and her checks bounce, housekeeper Blanche White goes on the lam, hiding out as a maid for a wealthy family at their summer home. However, when there's a murder, Blanche becomes the prime suspect, forcing her to use her savvy, sharp wit, and old-girl network of domestic workers to discover the truth and save her own skin. With humor, irony, and biting commentary, Neely lays bare the quirks of southern society, making Blanche an unforgettable protagonist. A quirky mystery debut that pits Blanche against a cast of oddballs, this book is endlessly entertaining and offers a unique perspective on black life in America.
