When one of Lainie Lovettās closest friends suspects her husband of cheating on her, she turns to Lainie for help. He insists heās innocent, but heās seen leaving the Other Womanās houseāshortly before the Other Woman turns up dead, apparently killed after pigging out on Happyās Hamburgers. Now heās suspected of murder, and he begs Lainie to clear his name. How can she say no? His wife is the goalie of the Rockettes, Lainieās soccer team.
Lainie has to make sense of the victimās blasĆ© family and back-stabbing pals. Add to this the mysterious green car that keeps appearing in front of Lainieās house, the romantic ups and downs of her flaky sister-in-law, the subtle pressure sheās feeling from her boyfriend, and kickoff weekāthe start of a new school year for Lainie and her fellow teachers. She also has to figure out why the victim, a devout vegetarian, would consume all those fast-food hamburgers.
Whether itās affection for family and friends, passion for teaching, enthusiasm for soccer, panic over a possibly straying husband, or a soul-deep craving for a greasy meat patty on a toasted bunā¦ Ultimately, everything is about love. And love, Lainie learns, can cause a whole lot of trouble.
