Miss Melville Regrets

What can a woman do? Susan Melville’s trust fund is dwindling, her teaching job is terminated, her lover is abroad for the season, and her apartment is going co-op. So naturally Miss Melville decides to shoot herself at a posh society party. Unfortunately, she misses — and kills the guest of honor instead. When she slips out the door, a stranger follows. He thanks her for doing the job for him, and Miss Melville’s new career is born. Of course she has scruples.
