Free-lance writer Jaine Austen considers herself a part- time, semi-professional private investigator. After all, she's been the one to solve quite a few murders where she's also been a suspect. Why should this new writing gig she has be any different?

Shortly before Valentine's Day and in need of funds to pay bills, Jaine takes a job writing an advertising brochure and website copy for Dates of Joy, a dodgy matchmaking business run by the pompous, chocolate-loving Joy Amoroso. Nasty doesn't begin to describe Joy's treatment of her employees, and Jaine soon learns the clientele doesn't match the advertising she's been hired to write. There are more than a few clients disgruntled with Joy's lack of results, especially since they forked out some pretty big bucks for her lackluster matchmaking services.

Then Joy drops dead at her Valentine's Day mixer after eating one of her cherished chocolates. Of course, Jaine was seen coming out of Joy's office where the chocolates were located, so she becomes a suspect. As Jaine's neighbor Lance so aptly laments, "Everywhere you go, dead bodies seem to pop up. What is it with you?" To clear her name, Jaine starts her own investigation, while also fending off a doddering old billionaire who only has eyes for her...cat Prozac. Life is never dull, or easy, for Jaine.

Laura Levine's KILLING CUPID is another hilarious escapade in the life of writer Jaine Austen and her finicky feline Prozac. Told from Jaine's point of view, the witty, self-deprecating commentary is always a hoot as she relates her latest exploits involving murder. As the 12th installment of this entertaining series, KILLING CUPID is sure to entertain readers looking for a fun mystery.
