Mystery Woman Sleuth | Mystery Amateur Sleuth

Finley Anderson Tanner loves a good discount on designer clothes that are slightly damaged. She would much rather be off shopping for a bargain then working at the law firm of Dane, Lieberman and Zarnowski in the Estates and Trusts Department. But unfortunately Finley needs to work to support her shopping addiction so she works as a paralegal assistant for the law firm. Usually Finley deals with wills and estates, but her most recent client has a whole other profession planned for her.

Stacy Evans, recently widowed, is supposed to have her late husband's will read by Finley. Instead she shocks Finley by declaring that her husband didn't die from an accidental death, but was murdered! Finley thinks this woman is out of her mind with grief and doesn't know what she's saying. She placates the woman and says she will look into the matter. Finley isn't a detective and if the police say it wasn't murder, then it wasn't, right?

With the help of a gorgeous private investigator named Liam McGarrity, Finley looks into the death of Stacy Evans' husband Marcus. After some investigating she discovers that Marcus served on a jury for a medical malpractice suit against a Dr. Kent Hall. Mysteriously, two other jury members have also passed away in accidental deaths recently. Is Dr. Kent Hall murdering the jury members that served in his trial or is there something more sinister going on?

While investigating the death of Marcus Evans, Finley realizes that her boyfriend is never around and starts to turn her affections to Liam. Liam and Finley develop a growing attraction towards each other while working their case. Will Finley be able to concentrate on the case, keep her job as a paralegal, and squeeze some romance into her life?

KNOCK OFF is a humorous mystery that will keep readers entertained. Finley's personality and antics slightly reminded me of Stephanie Plum from Janet Evanovich's series. The book concludes with an ending that hints towards a follow up book. Hopefully this will become a series because Finley is a wonderful character that is extremely loveable.

I would like to read more about her addiction to shopping, fantasies of deep fried chocolate, and hopefully a whole lot more Liam in the next book! KNOCK OFF is a great book to curl up with on the beach this summer.

SUMMARY

Get ready for a rollicking, wickedly fun new mystery series from USA Today Bestselling Author Rhonda Pollero, featuring the most delicious sleuth ever to solve the crime, get the guy, and save a bundle on discount Gucci, all at the same time. Once Finley Tannerโ€™s on the case, shopping and murder will never be the sameโ€ฆ

Meet Finley Anderson Tanner. F.A.T. to her enemies. Underachiever extraordinaire. This West Palm Beach paralegal hates the gym, still rents her condo, and loves two-hour lunches with her friends. But what really gets Finleyโ€™s blood pumping is the thrill of the huntโ€”shopping for deeply discounted designer goods she can wear at her upscale law firm. Hey, if she holds that Chanel bag just right, no one will ever notice the weird smear on the pale pink lambskin.

Too bad work isnโ€™t all about fashion. Especially when a grieving widow is sitting in your office, convinced that her husbandโ€™s accidental death was really murder. Okay, so sheโ€™s sincereโ€ฆbut crazy. Sheโ€™s also a close personal friend of the boss, and the boss wants Finley to personally oversee the investigation. Good-bye outlet malls; hello pain-in-my-Asprey.

Investigating murder isnโ€™t really Finleyโ€™s bag. (That would be Prada, 75% off.) But the deeper Finley digs, the stranger things get. There are an awful lot of โ€œaccidentalโ€ deaths out there. This discount shopper knows slightly irregular when she sees it, and this case is clearly not right. Kind of like sexy Liam McGarrity. Everything about the hot, hunky P.I. assigned to the investigation screams, โ€œGet out while you still have your underwear!โ€ When heโ€™s not working the case, heโ€™s working on Finley. Who knew crime could be this much fun?

Now, for a girl whose biggest ambition was take-out Moo Shu at exactly 5:01, life is taking some exciting, unpredictable, and decidedly dangerous turns. But someone doesnโ€™t like Finleyโ€™s new work ethic. And if this paralegal wants to bring home the real goods, sheโ€™ll have to keep from becoming a killerโ€™s total knock off...
