What happens when you get a fiery, red-headed divorcée and a hard-boiled detective with his own stubborn streak together? Why, murder and mayhem, of course!
When Nell gets dumped by her husband after he takes up with the local floozy, she's on her own for the first time in twenty-two years. She goes through life in a fog of depression until she gets a lucky break at the McKenna Detective Agency.
Her friends, Suze and Margie, her new job, a stolen dog and sex with the disposable Riley McKenna all conspire to lift her spirits. It isn't until a decades old murder, a fresh corpse, missing jewelry and the righteous destruction of her husband's office occur that her zest for life returns.
Caught up in mystery and mayhem, Nell almost misses true love. With a little help from the stars and a few nosey friends, she ends up right in the strong arms of Gabe McKenna. Can two stubborn people survivie their own passion? Will they solve the murders before someone gets hurt?
This book is a fast, fun ride down the slippery slope of love and murder. An excellent choice to take your mind off of what ails you, I highly recommend Crusie's light, frothy mystery.
