Product Description

New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich praised bestselling author Rhonda Pollero's first mystery Knock Off as "a great read with plenty of attitude!" Now paralegal Finley Anderson Tanner (F.A.T. to her enemies) is back for another sizzling adventure under the West Palm Beach sun...

Finley knows it can't be good news when she's awakened at 5:40 a.m. by someone knocking on her door. Her hunch proves correct. Finley's pal Jane is hysterical and clad only in a negligee. It all started when Jane went out on a blind date the previous night with a hunk named Paolo--and ended when she woke up next to his corpse. Finley knows Jane wouldn't hurt a fly, especially one with a zipper. Too bad the police don't agree...

Having survived her own ordeal of questioning and criminally bad coffee at the local cop shop, Finley's got to post bail and hire an attorney for Jane. But with most of her cash tied up in credit card debt, she knows she has to do the unthinkable: hit her mother up for money. As if attempting to thaw out the Ice Queen isn't hard enough, there's the unthinkable, part II: resisting McGarrity. Yes, dangerously sexy P.I. Liam McGarrity has offered his services...for a discounted rate. To prove her theory that Jane and Paolo were drugged by the real killer, Finley will have to buckle down and work with Liam. She'll just have to remind herself that she already has the perfect boyfriend in her FedEx pilot Patrick.

But this case is booby-trapped with more serious pitfalls than wicked temptation. For starters, there's the fact that two knives were used to kill Paolo. Then there's a suspicious string of robberies. And when someone tries to run Finley's car off the road, she's got to act quick to find a killer who wants to see her underground...

Customer Reviews

Just generally disappointed.....
and so very tired of the same-old same-old. Single woman, money problems, mother problems, boyfriend problems, best friend is a great gay guy---and in this case add a very snobby (in a weird way since she's broke and MUST SHOP CHEAP BUT BUYS ONLY THE BEST)attitude. The "cutesy" lines don't begin to make up for the boring, repetitiveness of plot lines.

The utter hatred shown from mother to daughter I found overboard, and really didn't like most of the characters in the entire book!!
I am now even wondering if I liked the main character at all...



I guess I've read too many of like cozy mysteries--must definitely start to rethink my entertainment level. Or maybe some authors out there will find a much different, yet entertaining plot line...I will wait with baited breathe.

Witty and fun!!!!
This book is a delightful read! You won't be disappointed with the purchase.
I adore Pollero's Finley Anderson Tanner. Not only is this book well plotted, the author has created a witty, honest with her own feelings character, it's like gaining a new friend. Finley's sarcasm is a hoot! And I love how she deals with her 'I know what's best for you' mother! I can't wait for FAT CHANCE and more of Finley's crazy life.

What a SCREAM! LOVED IT!
Loved this funny mystery. LOVED Finley! You gotta love a girl who will put herself at the mercy of her diva mother for the sake of a friend in need. Laughed my way through this. So fun watching Finley get in and out of trouble. She has this amazing combination of toughness and vulnerability that makes you root for her. Can't wait for the next Finley, so I'll just have to re-read this one and LAUGH AGAIN!
