Cadence Jones is a sweet, kind, girl-next-door sort of
woman with two sisters, Shiro and Adrienne. All three are
members of an elite, and mostly unknown, branch of the FBI
known as BOFFO (the Bureau of False Flags Ops). BOFFO
employs a collection of psychotic and sociopathic social
misfits who, because of their mental challenges, are able
to look at crimes in a different way. Cadence has a
multiple personality disorder, so she, Shiro and Adrienne
fit in well with the odd collection of BOFFO agents. Though
Cadence seems to be the dominant personality, in times of
stress or danger it is Shiro or Adrienne who appear to
protect their mild-mannered sister. And now they've been
handed a case requiring the special talents of all three.
The ThreeFer serial killer is so named for his habit of
leaving three victims (and no forensic evidence) at the
crime scene, and the latest trio of victims has been dumped
in BOFFO's back yard. Worse yet, the killer seems to be
escalating, making this the perfect case for Cadence (and
Shiro and Adrienne) and her sociopathic partner, George. As
they put the clues together, Cadence begins to suspect
there may be a more personal message in the ThreeFer's
methods. The team catches a break when the killer makes a
mistake, leaving one victim alive, and it becomes a race
against time to find a killer far crazier than all of BOFFO
before he strikes again.
MaryJanice Davidson falls into the "I'll read
anything she writes" category. Some books I like better
than others, but I'm always entertained. When I read the
blurb for ME, MYSELF AND WHY?, I have to admit I was
skeptical. Oh, me of little faith! ME, MYSELF AND WHY? is a
clever (ingenious!) roller coaster ride into the quirky,
crazy, scary and sometimes sad world of Cadence Jones and
her unconventional sisters. Ms. Davidson's gift of creating
memorable characters runs wild in this one, from her main
character(s) to Cadence's best friend, Cathie (every bit as
nutty as Cadence) to Cathie's older brother Patrick
(surprisingly normal), and her unique sense of humor is
evident throughout. Make sure you set aside plenty of time
for reading, because once you pick up ME, MYSELF AND WHY?,
you're not going to want to put it down!
Sweet and innocent with a twist of girl-next-door, Cadence
Jones is not your typical girl and certainly not your
typical FBI agent. Just ask her sisters, Shiro and
Adrienne. (Wait. . .best if you don’t ask Adrienne
anything.) But it’s her special “talent” that makes
Cadence so valuable to the FBI and it never comes in more
handy than when she and her partner, George, get tagged to
bring down the Threefer Killer. A serial killer who
inexplicably likes to kill in threes, leave behind
inexplicable newspaper clippings, and not one shred of
decent forensic evidence, soon starts leaving messages
that seem to be just for Cadence and her sisters. Could it
be that this killer knows all about Cadence’s
special “talent”?
In the meantime, love blooms in the most unexpected place
when Cadence meets her best friend’s gorgeous brother who
is in town visiting — and she discovers he knows her
secret too! When attraction burns hot between them, her
best friend isn’t thrilled with the romantic development
and this time Cadence just might agree!
Suddenly Cadence finds her unbalanced life turned even
more upside down as she tries to date a baker who wants to
get in her heart and in her bed, dodge a pesky
psychiatrist, keep a leash on her sociopath partner, while
trying to catch a serial killer who’s now fixated on her.
Some days it’s not even worth getting up in the
morning. . .
From New York Times bestselling author
MaryJanice Davidson comes an outrageously funny
novel about a highly unconventional FBI agent, a rather
odd serial killer, a best friend on the edge, a gorgeous
baker. . .and oh, yeah, love.
