Death of a Neighborhood Scrooge by Laura Levine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jaine and Lance get a job house-sitting a Bel Air mansion on Christmas week. When the Scrooge-like neighbor gets murdered, Jaine is the prime suspect so she starts investigating in order to clear her name. Was it the ex-wife, who had to beg for her alimony check? Or the new wife who hates his miserly ways? Or the law student boarder who is in love with the wife? Too many people hated his guts. Meanwhile, Prozac the cat is bonding with another woman, since Jaine can't keep him at the house.
This series tends to be very funny, although I was annoyed at the Hispanic maid incorrect Spanish (one of my pet peeves.)

The ending was completely unexpected.
