Yes, Maddie does some dumb things, but I like her. I really like the way the small-town miasma of gossip and expectations colors the actions of all the characters. (  ) MuseofIre | Jul 10, 2009 |  This is light reading - Crusie almost always is, and that's not a bad thing. This one isn't as fun as some of her others (God, how I loved Welcome to Temptation!), but it's just as sexy! Beware - her characters get busy often and we the readers get MANY details! (  ) kayceel | May 29, 2009 | Smalltown mentality at its worst, this book spins a complex net of human interrelations. Everybody's guilty. It's witty and a great character study. (  ) kikilon | Mar 31, 2009 | Maddie had what she thought was an OK life. Sure she didn't really like her husband much, but she had a great daughter with him. Then it happened. She found a pair of crotchless panties in his car. She decides she's not going to take this kind of betrayal (again) and confronts him. At the same time an old flame comes back into town and all hell breaks loose. Before she knows it Maddie is knee deep in a murder investigation and lies, lies, lies. This is a very entertaining read, much like Crusie's other books. Quirky, steamy and romantic with a twist. ( ) melissam322 | Dec 10, 2008 | Oh, there is a scene in this book that I laughed aloud until I howled! My friend and I still talk about it after sharing the book! Loved this one!

Amazon.com (ISBN 0312179405, Hardcover)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.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:08 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
