Miss Melville Regrets
"Former socialite Susan Melville is financially strapped and about to lose her beloved apartment. Her old-money connections are mostly useless, but murder for hire is quite profitable"--
Good breeding simply doesn't pay the rent anymore.
And while Miss Melville has bucketloads of breeding, she finds herself somewhat... lacking, shall we say, when it comes to finances. Distinctly lacking. Her rich friends are no help; they think 'broke' means having to buy a smaller yacht. What is an impoverished gentlewoman to do?
Become a killer for hire, of course. But Miss Melville (who prefers the term 'hitwoman') doesn't take just any job, no matter how well paid. That kind of sordid money-grubbing is beneath contempt. No, she reserves her talents for those who... let's say those who really deserve them. It's true, her ancestors would roll in their graves at the thought of Miss Melville working and for a paycheck, my dear! But finger sandwiches and opera tickets don't come cheap: One does what one must.

About the Author
Evelyn E. Smith was born and lived out her life in New York City. She had two passions for art and for cats of all sizes. She liked to claim that she wanted a lion until she realised how much they cost to feed, and she made her living as an editor, most notably running the features department at Family Circle magazine. Though she wrote four beloved Miss Melville books, she may be better known as the author of several novels and numerous short stories in the sci-fi genre; she also wrote a number of gothic romances under a pen name, and two non-fiction books on (ahem) practical witchcraft. Smith died in 2000, at the age of 77, in her beloved New York City.
