Her first book, the Thin Woman, was the one that helped her be known by many people.
The novel was named by the Association of the Independent Mystery Booksellers as among the top 100 best mysteries of the twentieth century. The Thin Woman was about one woman, who was frightened by the imagination of a weekend with her relatives that are quite snobby. The woman, Ellie Simons, is the main character and is also overweight and she chooses to distract the attention of the relatives. Ellie plans to get to the reunion with a fine boyfriend. The only problem is that she doesn’t know of any boyfriend that is as adorable as the one in her imaginations. As a result, Ellie chooses to hire a super hunk escort, Bentley T. Haskell. The male escort is intended to play the role of a fiancé. The only challenge is that Ellie is forced to pay a very huge fee to the escort. The two, Ellie and Bentley arrive at the family reunion and clearly, everything is affected, including the family members.
The weekend with the hot escort is what creates the murder, jealously and romance in the entire novel.
