Mystery Woman Sleuth | Romance Suspense

Christina McMullen, waitress turned psychologist, is in no mood to be chased around her desk by her client, a famous football player. Her temper worsens when the imbecile drops dead at her feet with his pants unzipped. A hunky police lieutenant named Jack Rivera does not buy her story, and she's the number one suspect in the football player's death. With a practice bordering on insolvency, Christina has no option but to clear her name and reputation. Christina gathers up her unusual friends, along with some unwilling ones, to ferret information about her dead client. While Christina sorts through clues and questions suspects, she continues encountering a suspicious Rivera. She tries to keep control of her hormones while attempting to present a professional and sophisticated woman to Rivera. Unfortunately, her down-home attitude coupled with her sassy and smart mouth keeps getting in her way. As Christina seeks answers from the most unlikely suspects, attempts are made on her life. She soon realizes she's uncovered a nest of vipers and her client's death may be just the tip of the iceberg. Successful historical author Lois Greiman enters the humorous mystery genre with a likable and sassy heroine involved in a hilarious murder. Guaranteed to deliver belly laughs, readers will crave more from this wacky new sleuth.

SUMMARY

Chrissy McMullen has made a career leap, all the way from slinging drinks at Chicago’s most notorious nightclub to dispensing psychotherapy from her sleek new practice in L.A. Even if she can’t quite shed her too-loud, too-curvy alter ego–or the brawling family that insists on claiming kinship. So when her most famous client, buff football star “Bomber” Bomstad, starts chasing her around her desk and getting, well…unzipped…Christina gets just a little miffed–until Bomber has the bad manners to drop dead at her feet. Enter Jack Rivera, a no-nonsense detective with a grim attitude and a great butt, who’s determined to prove this cocktail-waitress-turned-shrink was engaging in some very unethical behavior. Persuading Rivera that she’s not a murderer isn’t going to be easy. Plunging headfirst into a city full of people in need of some serious therapy, Chrissy will have to use all her street smarts, a good deal of sex appeal, and a little love to clear her name–and cancel an appointment with a killer.
