As I always say, cheer up, read a Jen Turano book! Intensely satisfying, madcap entertainment that pulls on your heart strings and keeps you in stitches, in all seriousness. Attempted murder, a new type of case for the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency. And a new type of client, a man. Daphne was in the office typing on her new novel when Herman dashed in for help, even though they were closed. She was not an Agent of the street, but didn't want to lose the case, especially after she became intrigued by his dilemma. Besides, she is a writer and can use new experiences to enrich her books. Herman also is a writer, a well known one whom she respects, so maybe he can help her where she's stuck in her story. But she can't reveal that she writes books, and that she is successful, since she is a woman. Women writers are not accepted in this time, and her pseudonym is well known. There are a lot of things that are not acceptable for women to do, but this agency is dedicated to balancing those wrongs and making women feel safe, giving them the help they need. In typical Jen style the story rolls along at a furious pace. It's hard to find a place to set it down, and in the latter part of the book it's hard to breathe as well, but you have a smile on your face all the while. Whirlwind story that is tongue in cheek for writers. Fantastically loveable characters that are so very real. You'll never be sorry to read a Jen Turano book! Fabulous, satisfying escape.
