All Chrissy McMullen, psychologist, wanted was a date with
hunky Lieutenant Jack Rivera. But life has a way of
getting in the way of what you want sometimes. Rivera
receives a phone call right before he's about to leave on
their date. Something is wrong and he needs to cancel
their date. After following Rivera to his father's house,
she discovers someone has been murdered and Rivera is the
main suspect! Chrissy becomes involved in the
investigation. What else is a woman to do; she can't be
dating a man accused of murder!
Chrissy snoops around investigating what really happened
that night at Rivera's father's house. After Chrissy meets
Rivera's parents and several other people, the suspect
list grows. Rivera is being accused of murdering his
father's fiancé and he's starting to look very guilty.
Why was Rivera at the scene of the crime? Is Rivera
covering up for his father or mother? Why would someone
want to kill such a beautiful young woman? Is there
something more sinister going on? Was her death accidental
or deviously planned? After finding out Rivera's history
with the woman, Chrissy wonders if he can truly be
trusted.
As Chrissy investigates she puts herself in danger and her
own life at risk. Without knowing who the real killer is,
she won't see the attack coming. Will Rivera be able to
save Chrissy if something happens to her and she finds
herself face to face with the killer or will the killer
claim her as his next victim? With a nagging mother, crazy
clients, a boyfriend accused of murder, an actress best
friend who might be moving out of town, and a mystery to
solve, how will Chrissy keep it together?
This was my first book by Lois Greiman and I look forward
to reading the first two books in the series. The mystery
was exciting and with so many characters the reader has no
idea who the real killer is. Chrissy's character is very
likeable and her antics are hilarious with all the
mischief she gets herself into.
The reader will want Chrissy and Rivera to finally get
together, but then this wouldn't be a series if it was so
simple! Readers must stay tuned for the next book and hope
for more romance between them. Greiman writes in a fun
breezy way that makes the book enjoyable and a relaxing
read. The book had the perfect blend of comedy, romance,
and mystery in it. UNSCREWED is a fun mystery that will
keep you interested and rooting for the characters until
the last page is turned. I look forward to Lois Greiman's
next book to find out what happens between Chrissy and
Rivera.
L.A. homicide detective Jack Rivera has a killer body, a wicked smile, and a velvet touch. Just ask Christina McMullen. The cocktail-waitress-turned-psychologist has handled obsessed patients, love-struck drunks, and her own guilt-tripping mother with aplomb. But when it comes to the lieutenant, Chrissy has an old-fashioned case of irresistible attraction—until things turn fatal when Rivera is accused of murder! Not only was Rivera found unconscious next to a dead woman, but the victim was his beautiful ex-girlfriend—who left Rivera for his wealthy dad. Chrissy detects a few father-and-son issues—along with plenty of evidence that her would-be boyfriend is guilty. But when she starts looking into the dead woman’s past, a rich senator’s connections, and Rivera’s relationship with his mother, will she discover there’s hope for her and Rivera after all? Or will her curiosity have deadly consequences?
