What the Lady Wants
What the Lady Wants | Jennifer Crusie
2 posts | 11 read | 2 to read
Mitch Peabody was learning pretty fast that the life of a private detective was nothing like the movies. He'd envisioned a world of tough-talking detectives and smart-mouthed, stunning dames. Instead he saw case after case of cheating husbands, suspicious wives and unsuspecting mistressesuntil she walked through the door. Right down to her stilettos, Mae Sullivan was a knockout with a lethal bodyand a lethal family to go with it. There was something not quite on the up-and-up about her, but she came with a case he couldn't afford to refuseand left him with a case of lust he hadn't had since high school. It didn't take long for him to fall for her, hook, line and sinker. But was Mae interested only in catching the double-crossing crooks who murdered her uncleor did the lady want to catch him?

What the Lady Wants | Jennifer Crusie

If I was Sam Spade, this would be Brigid O'Shaughnessy. The ancient ceiling fan creaked above him, and buttery sunlight spattered over him, and in spite of himself, he began to feel optimistic again. Maybe hope wasn't dead yet. Maybe this was a Brigid heading his way....

Bookwomble I'm not sure you'd want to fully trust a Brigid O'Shaughnessy, though 😏 3y
charl08 @Bookwomble I think that's part of the attraction for the character here... 3y

Book three of the bundle and, maybe in comparison to the not fantastic first two, it was a pretty fun time. There's something endearing about a "modern" noir that is now 20 years old.
