I really liked the fact that the main character is a 40 year old lady PI, and thought the synopsis sounded intriguing, but it didn't quite come together for me. I mean, for someone who was supposed to have been a PI for many years, Dix (our main character) sure seemed to miss a lot of what I thought were very obvious clues. I had the murderer figured out pretty early on and would get so frustrated when she couldn't put it all together sooner. She also did a couple of things I thought fell into TSTL territory, especially with a murder charge hanging over her head. I also felt the book tried way too hard to be funny. While I did find some things amusing, I didn't laugh nearly as much as I think I was supposed to. One thing I did like was the potential for a relationship between Dix and the younger man (he's 28 to her 40) who works for her, Dylan. The attraction is there on both sides, but I'm afraid it's going to get bogged down in "Oh, he's too young for me! I can't!" type stuff, and it shouldn't. Speaking of Dylan, he apparently has magical color changing eyes. The first couple times they were mentioned, they were brown, and then after that they were suddenly blue. Oooops. Anyway, it got better towards the end, and I liked some of the supporting characters, but overall it just didn't hook me enough to want to continue with the series.

Pertence a SérieDix Dodd Mystery (1)
"Tired of getting no respect at the big P.I. firm where she's worked for years, Dix Dodd has hung out her own shingle at the ripe age of 40. There are plenty of cheating husbands to go around, and Dix has a knack for busting them. Problem is, it doesn't always pay so well. Conscious that the guys back at the old firm are laying bets about how soon she'll come crawling back, she figures she's got six months to make a go of it. The going gets even tougher when she hires Dylan Foreman. But when he told her about getting fired from his law firm and disbarred for putting common decency before the firm's interests, she hired him on the spot. In addition to being smart, he's gorgeous enough to remind her she's a woman. And at 28, young enough to make her feel like a total cougar. Things start looking up when Dix gets hired by millionaire businessman Ned Weatherby's wife Jennifer Weatherby, to tail Ned 24/7 for a week, for a cool ten grand. Easy-peasy, right? Wrong! The job lands Dix in the middle of a murder investigation - with her as the prime suspect and her arch-enemy Detective Richard Head (a.k.a., Dickhead, one of the cheating husbands she'd nailed) gunning for her. Dix will need all her ingenuity, as well as the help of Dylan and her oddball cast of supporters to extricate herself from this one."-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
