"Captures all the lunacy of the 1930s screwball comedies"
In Denver Kelly Richmond Vincent waited over five years
for her husband Chaz to return home from the Amazon quest
for the lost Inca city before finally accepting that he
died when his plane went down. She had the court declare
him legally dead just last week. Following a brief
wedding ceremony in which Kelly will marry her fiancé
Spencer Preston, she will attend her first husband's
funeral. Spencer arranged both events on the same day
based on his and hers work schedules at Pizzazz Magazine. Following the wedding, Kelly attends Chaz's funeral when
someone says "Hi, honey! I'm ho-oome". Chaz explains to a
nearly unconscious Kelly why they found his downed plane
with the other bodies except for his. He was on a short
detour when he became the "guest" of a local tribe until
another group of explorers ransomed him. When Kelly tells
him she remarried; Chaz feels betrayed. She knows that
she still loves her Indiana Jones like first husband, but
feels more secure with her second spouse. Of course,
bigamy will not allow her to keep both. Using the theme from the classic Grant-Dunne movie My
Favorite Wife, Pam McCutheon spins an amusing romantic
romp that captures all the lunacy of the 1930s screwball
comedies. The cast makes the story line work and hold up
well against the model it emulates. Fans will laugh as a
bewildered Kelly pondering, in spite of love, which man is
better for her and her for him. Fans will also look
forward to a sequel starring Kelly's delightful brother
though that will have to wait until next summer to read in
yarn. Harriet Klausner

SummaryFrom the back cover:
PICK A HUSBAND...
Chaz Vincent disappeared years ago on an expedition into
the wildest reaches of the Amazon jungle, leaving his wife,
Kelly, to wait and wonder—and finally have him declared
legally dead. How was she to know he was being held hostage
by a tribe of Pygmies with a talent for complicated knots?
It took forever and a day for him to finally escape but
he's back—and he can't wait to see her...
...ANY HUSBAND!
Kelly Vincent knows she'll never forget Chaz—especially
since the intrepid adventurer's memorial service was
accidentally scheduled only hours after her second wedding.
Stranger still, that tanned, rugged man in khakis who just
walked into the funeral parlor is a dead ringer for him.
But wait a minute—that is Chaz. And he looks like he's
ready to sweep her off her feet all over again...
