Five Clumsy Women begins with a murder. As the novel ends we are pretty sure who did what to whom - then comes the twist.
In between we meet twelve-year-old Carly, who's been shuffled around foster homes all her life. Just as she's to be adopted along with her younger brother, they're kidnapped by their biological parents, Karl and May, to be used in con games throughout the SE.
While Karl is pulling small cons, May, the real brains behind the scams, is working on The Long Con, how to save her kids... and herself.
Carly's natural optimism and unique perspective on lifeÕs ups and downs, brightens up the dark subject matter as this book explores family in all its permutations.
