New Releases by Jennifer Crusie

Een gescheiden, werkloze vrouw gaat bij een detectivebureau werken.

Als een jongeman een weddenschap afsluit met vrienden om een bepaalde dame binnen een maand in zijn bed te krijgen, weet hij niet dat de dame in kwestie al gauw op de hoogte is.

If you think small-town life can be boring--think again. There are complex social rules: there are certain people with whom you fraternize and those you don''t, and, of course, there is the all-powerful gossip. Everyone knows everything about everyone else. Don''t they? That''s what Maddie Farraday thinks until she finds a pair of black crotchless panties in her husband''s car that don''t belong to her. That''s it; Maddie''s had it. She''s ready for change, and the first thing she''s going to do is divorce her no-good, philandering husband Brent. But then everything goes haywire: Brent turns up dead, Maddie''s daughter wants a dog, her best friend is suddenly acting very strange, and Maddie''s secret boyhood crush, bad boy C. L. Sturgis, arrives in town after a 20-year hiatus--and he''s as sexy as ever. You may laugh out loud at the wild and crazy antics in Jennifer Crusie''s exceptional novel, but you''ll exclaim with delight over the sizzling, dynamic, passionate affair between Maddie and her first love, C. L.

On finding a pair of crotchless panties in her husband''s car, Maddie Faraday sets out to get even. But she wants to keep her reputation, too, and in the juggling act that follows, she has a fling with an old flame, is accused of her husband''s murder and turns sleuth to clear her name, lover in tow.
