VMI: Mr Kiss and Tell

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: Mr Kiss and Tell, an original mystery by Rob Thomas and Jennifer Graham:

A young woman has been raped and beaten, and, once again, the Neptune Grand hires Veronica to investigate - only so they don’t get sued for hiring the undocumented worker who has been accused.
But, having cleared him, Veronica keeps going with the case, to get justice for the victim, Grace Manning - that’s right, Meg’s little sister. A decade on from being locked in a closet by her parents, and still having a shit time.
Grace is one of several sex workers who have been attacked by this man, a SPORTSBALL coach. I knew I was right not to trust sportsball!
So Veronica and Leo team up, dress up and wig up to go to Vegas and bust this man. A golf course is involved - sports really come out of this novel badly.
Meanwhile, the sheriff’s election looms into view, with a new candidate, Marcia - with whom Keith has history. Tense sad history, not sexy history. We assume Keith’s pelvis is still knitting itself back together.
Keith and Cliff put together a civil case, Weevil vs the sheriff’s department and their evidence planting. But which does Weevil need more: justice, or to stop his family falling apart?
And Logan is ashore! He and Veronica are having problems, with her overwork and his months-long absences - but, they do get a puppy! And the puppy’s called Pony! A satisfying conclusion to Veronica’s years-long pony joke.

VMI 2.04 Green-Eyed Monster

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

Veronica’s latest client, Julie, is rich pretending to be not rich and hires Veronica to investigate her boyfriend, who she fears is not-rich pretending to be rich - keep up!
Keith is reluctantly investigating Alicia, who’s lying about a man from her past.
And Weevil’s earrings are more than very shiny: they’re important to the plot.
Meg is still in a coma, but nonetheless coming between Veronica and Duncan, who has been visiting her every day.
But before Veronica can get into that, she needs to get into Meg’s secret laptop before her controlling parents get wind of it.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 4: Green-Eyed Monster, and delve into such mysteries as how, if you’re on potential engagement/converting to Judaism terms with your beloved, would you not know whose home they live in; why ‘dim sum and then some’ is so very unappetising despite dim sum being on offer; how the hauntedness of a haunted house is measured; how to make an American Girl Doll’s cardigan fit an adult human; and why magical time-travelling shit is always happening in Scotland.
