Christina “Chrissy” McMullen is a psychologist in California. Ex-football player and celebrity Andrew “Bomber” Bomstad is one of her clients. He is, that is, until he drops dead in her office. He’d come to Chrissy for help with his impotency problem. The police believe she killed him because there is an open bottle of wine in her office and evidence, in his unzipped jeans, that he had been cured of his problem. Things are not what they seem, but Chrissy can’t make police detective Jack Rivera see this. He just keeps hounding her to tell him why she killed the Bomber.

Chrissy ends up asking an acquaintance from her cocktail waitressing days, an acquaintance she’d rather forget, to help her get some information on the Bomber because everything she’s being told since his death doesn’t match with what he’d told her when he was alive.

I like the way Chrissy plays with Rivera’s name to get to him. She knows she didn’t kill the Bomber even though the police think she did, so she sets out to figure out who did. This puts her in some sticky situations that are very funny.

I laughed out loud almost every time I picked this book up to read more. I found it hard to put it down. I just wanted to keep reading. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to read the next one. Chrissy is a hoot and a fun amateur sleuth. There is a love interest as well which kept me wanting to read more to find out what would happen.

I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next one. I want to see what trouble Chrissy can get into next.
