Blanche on the Lam by Barbara Neely

Not sure what sparked my interest in this title, but I'm glad it did.

The narration of the events are told by Blanche, who is hiding out from the police. She takes up as domestic help to a wealthy southern family going to the country estate. Seems like a great place to hide, no one was expecting her and no one pays attention to the help.

Blanche herself is full of insight and humor and compassion. A completely likable character. And the family that she works for? Wooo Eeee, what a disaster.
