Tired of getting no
respect at the big P.I. firm where she's worked for years, Dix Dodd has
hung out her own shingle at the ripe age of 40. There are plenty of
cheating husbands to go around, and Dix has a knack for busting them.
Problem is, it doesn't always pay so well. Conscious that the guys back
at the old firm are laying bets about how soon she'll come crawling
back, she figures she's got six months to make a go of it. The going
gets even tougher when she hires Dylan Foreman. But when he told her
about getting fired from his law firm and disbarred for putting common
decency before the firm's interests, she hired him on the spot. In
addition to being smart, he's gorgeous enough to remind her she's a
woman. And at 28, young enough to make her feel like a total cougar.
Things start looking up when Dix gets hired by millionaire businessman
Ned Weatherby's wife Jennifer Weatherby, to tail Ned 24/7 for a week,
for a cool ten grand. Easy-peasy, right? Wrong! The job lands Dix in the
middle of a murder investigation - with her as the prime suspect and
her arch-enemy Detective Richard Head (a.k.a., Dickhead, one of the
cheating husbands she'd nailed) gunning for her. Dix will need all her
ingenuity, as well as the help of Dylan and her oddball cast of
supporters to extricate herself from this one. From Goodreads.I enjoyed this book, more than I expected. It was cosy, humorous and I like when the side characters are interesting. In this case Mrs. P was quite the character. I am interested in reading more from this series. Okay I admit it, I have just bought the second book.
