This is a book I originally bought in paperback. I found it very funny indeed, and very different from Linda Howard's competent FBI thrillers.
I loaned my copy out so often that I eventually lost track of it, so am delighted to get it in hardbound- which I shall not loan out.
The book is not only funny, but it's actually pretty wise. Basic premise is former cheerleader, Blair Mallory, ends up, after a sudden divorce, the owner of a gym called Great Bods. She has a run in with a customer who is not allowed to renew her membership due to multiple member complaints.
When the now ex-member waits outside the gym after closing, Blair is surprised to witness the ex-member's murder. The question is, since the ex-member copied everything about Blair down to hair color and skin lotion, who was the intended victim?
Enter Lt. Bloodsworth, the hot, hunky testosterone-poisoned detective, who is determined to get her.
What I particularly enjoyed was how she didn't hesitate to take advantage of the "dumb blonde" stereotype if it suited her purposes. She is smart, very funny, and while high-maintenance, has a *very* solid head on her shoulders.
You will either love or hate this book. I loved it.
