I love Jennifer Crusie! Although this book didn't captivate me quite as much as her more recent releases, it still sparked with imagination, romance, and Crusie's wonderful humor!Mae Sullivan is in need of a slow and stupid private eye to send on a wild goose chase for a non-existent murderer. Mitch Peatwick is about ready to pull out from his floundering detective agency, when his dream client walks through the door. He knows she's lying, but he's intrigued by the case. And by her. Then he finds out about Mae's mob relations, her uncle's floozy mistress, and millions of dollars that have disappeared into thin air. Suddenly, a murder doesn't seem quite as improbable.Written in the form of a typical detective story, Crusie keeps us in the dark until the very end. Will Mitch solve the mystery? Will Mae get what she wants? Find out in this Crusie classic!
