Madge Brown is nearing fifty. She’s frowzy, burned out, taken for granted, and locked in the blackest depression she’s experienced since the postpartum blues suffered over sixteen years ago. Could this be the end of the line? Not Even! She grabs her own bootstraps, gives them a smart tug, and yanks herself right up out of the pits and transforms herself into “Middy,” a top consultant for StarWay Beauty Products and the not-always-so-perfect-assistant to the dreamiest private investigator on the planet.
But, in the process of finding herself, what will she have to do to pacify her demanding, chauvinistic husband and almost adult children? She’s determined to never let them find out that she has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, and worse, has had to use it to save her fabulous, handsome, and very available PI boss…talk about Hot Flashes!

What is it with Middy?
- Just about the time she’s certain that she’s mature enough to work side by side on a daily basis with Calvin C. Cleere of CC Investigations, the dreamiest and most available P.I. on the planet without losing her head…or more…her absent,
cantankerous, and chauvinist husband, George, complicates everything by filing for a divorce.
- Just when she thinks her life is finally her own, her air-head mother leaves her patient father and comes to live with Middy and begins to date…her latest conquest could possibly be a serial killer in search of another wealthy wife.
- Just when she thinks her StarWay business and work for Cal are all she needs in her life, she encounters a nun on a dark highway who claims to have had an apparition!
- And…just when she thinks she can’t possibly be pulled in another direction, one of her StarWay clients appears to have kidnapped a popular and charismatic television chef!
