I just finished reading Knock Em Dead by Rhonda Pollero. By "just", I mean that I was 20 minutes late leaving for work because I was thisclose to The End and had to fnish before I put down the book.
It's that terrific.
Even if Rhonda wasn't a friend, I'd want to blog this book. It's the second in the Finley Anderson Tanner (F.A.T.) mysteries, featuring Finley -- a Palm Beach, Florida, paralegal fashionista who might misstep when working a case, but never puts a wrong foot forward when finding a deal on the hottest looks and labels in clothes, shoes, bags, accessories . . .
Finley's dear friend Jane arrives at her door in the middle of the night, hysterical and covered in blood. Waking up and discovering the guy you went to bed with is now stabbed to death in your bed and missing a rather private part will do that to a woman. Fin and her friends pull out all the stops to help their friend -- and that lands them deep in a world of ultra-privileged Palm Beach society, a high-end dating service, murder, intrigue, family struggles, and more.
As if all that wasn't enough, Fin has to get a handle on her relationship with Patrick and her spontaneous com-lust-ion around the very H-O-T investigator Liam McGarrity.
This fast-paced, never-boring, super smart mystery is loaded with wit and spiced with snark. I loved the first book in the series -- Knock Off -- and now can't wait for the next Finley book Fat Chance.
I predict that each book will gain more Finley fans. This series has legs (in Manalo shoes) and I believe it's destined for the top!
Thank you Mary!!!! I'm so glad you liked Fin. Just - as in less than 24 hours ago, turned in FAT CHANCE to Pocket and hopefylly the next FAT mystery will meet (or exceed :)) expectations.
