Saw it at a local used bookstore and it sounded interesting. I've read Welcome to Temptation and I found it hilarious so I thought I'd try another Crusie.

When A Down-On-Her-Luck Divorcee
Nell Dysart's in trouble. Weighed down by an inexplicable divorce and a loss of appetite for everything, Nell is sleepwalking through life until her best friend finagles a job for her with a shabby little detective agency that has lots of potential and a boss who looks easy to manage.
Meets A Determined-To-Dominate Detective
Gabe McKenna isn't doing too well, either. His detective agency is wasting time on a blackmail case, his partner has decided he hates watching cheating spouses for money, and his ex-wife has just dumped him...again. The only thing that's going his way is that his new secretary looks efficient, boring, and biddable.
They Find Out That Falling In Love Can Be Murder
But looks can be deceiving and soon Nell and Gabe are squaring off over embezzelment, business cards, vandalism, dog-napping, blackmail, Chinese food, unprofessional sex, and really ugly office furniture, all of which turn out to be the least of their problems. Because soon, somebody starts killing people. And shortly after that, they start fallin in love...
