Mystery Amateur Sleuth | Mystery Woman Sleuth

Caffeine-addicted, discount-sale-shopping fashionista and underachieving paralegal Finley Anderson Tanner is back for a third time trying to determine who the dead person is that's been found in the closet of her new beach cottage. Yes, she should've known something like this would happen because the deal for the house was just too good to be true -- and she accepted it sight unseen. When will Finley ever learn? Now, as she deals with extensive renovations to the hurricane-damaged house, she must also find out who the dead body belongs to and why it was left in this particular closet. It doesn't help that Finley is also dealing with a sexy new boss at the law firm, as well as her sizzling attraction to hunky P.I. Liam McGarrity, after recently dumping her boy friend of two years (who turned out to be married!). It's a good thing Finley has some really great friends to keep her normal (or as close as she'll ever get to it) and centered on what's most important in life. Now, back to that dead body in the closet. Rhonda Pollerro has written another hot-dang hilarious installment to this totally entertaining mystery series. If you like Stephanie Plum, you will love Finley Anderson Tanner (F.A.T.) and how she deals with what life throws at her. The writing is witty and the plot zany. What fun -- don't miss it!

SUMMARY

The difference between the wrath of God and the wrath of your mother is that eventually God forgives you. Finley Anderson Tanner just landed a quaint new cottage on posh Palm Beach. Not bad for an underachieving, sample- sale-shopping paralegal -- until she finds the place in shambles. She should have known better than to accept her overbearing mother's offer to sell her a house unseen at a bargain-basement mortgage rate. Good-bye Rolex dreams. At this rate, she'll be shopping designer outlets forever. When Finley discovers a skeleton in her new closet, right where her Jimmy Choos should be, a total home renovation is the least of her worries. Sure, she knows how to catch a crook, but when a girl's sandwiched between sexy P.I. Liam McGarrity and her hot new boss, defense attorney Tony Caprelli, she can only be headed for commitment. To an institution. With her fabulous (but slightly more successful) friends to keep her sane and her interfering mother out of town, Finley vows to get this bad guy -- and decorate her new house -- even if she has to pay full price.
