Product Description:
Once on the fast track to success, Helen Hawthorne is now going nowhere fast. She traded in her chic life for a shabby one. And now she's on the run, jumping from city to city and dead-end job to dead-end job, trying to stay one step ahead of her past...
After two weeks as the new salesclerk at Juliana's, Fort Lauderdale's ultra-exclusive clothing boutique, Helen still feels out of fashion. And since the only crime likely to be committed around here is being old-or worse, looking old-Helen figures she's safe. Until she discovers the manager has been embezzling money and selling designer drugs along with the designer clothes. Add murder to the mix-and Helen's dead-end job is downright deadly.

I so wanted to like this book. The premise sounded appealing and fun, but I found myself disappointed almost immediately.
The writing is far from great. The author manages this annoying 1st/3rd person POV. The book is written in third person, but comes across as a very first person perspective where the main character refers to themselves by their very first name. Not fun.
Plus the story just didn't have that fun snap that you expect from a cozy chic lit/mystery. I never cared about any of the characters and ended up not even finishing the book (something I never do).

I enjoyed Shop Till You Drop. The twists and turns kept me guessing until the very end. I loved Thumbs the cat. I will read more of this series. I rated it a 4.5/5.

I loved this book! I have read all most all of these books in no particular order. This was definitely one of the best.
It explains how Helen came to live at the Coronado Tropic Apartments, the very first encounter with Phil, the mystery of Thumbs, and how Helen came to meet her best friend, Sarah. I think my favorite character has to be Margery, her landlady.
Helen's job at the snobby clothing store was interesting. Out of necessity, Helen must solve a murder.
You will like this book and series. I am buying to rest of the books I haven't read and I am waiting on Elaine Viets to write more!

This was a great book! I really like all of Elaine Viets Dead End Job series books. I can't seem to get enough of the great characters,and I really like the setting of the books.

This gave me some insight into the world of truly desperate housewives. Reminds me of the days when it was every Mother's goal to see her daughter married to a doctor. The story line here was "Do whatever it takes to snag a rich man and live the good life.....without working or earning money, of course."
