Jo-Ann Power is the author of sixteen romance and suspense novels. Missing Member is the first in the Mr. and Mr. Jones amateur sleuth mystery series.

Texas Congresswoman (a former Miss Texas) Carly Wagner's personality is as big as the Lone Star State itself. She's smart, savvy, sassy, and has a quick wit. And she is not above using her beauty to her advantage.

Carly walks into her office early one morning to find minority whip Alistair Dunhill sitting in her chair, holding his, ah, 'member' in his hand. Yup, he's quite dead. And the police think Carly's good for the murder.

Smart-talking, quick-thinking Carly knows her career is also dead if she doesn't find the killer. Her political party sees 'big things' in her future and can't allow her to flounder around on her own, so they send in Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones is part James Bond and part Mr. Corleone with toys that will thrill and save a life or two. The delicious Mr. Jones is hell-bent on protecting Carly but she wants nothing to do with him. But if she doesn't allow Mr. Jones to do what he does best, she could lose her career--and her life.

This fast-paced mystery is simply delicious and I can't wait for the next book in the series. Carly is what most women would like to be and Mr. Jones, well, Mr. Jones is scrumptious and I want more of him.

Armchair Interviews says: Not that many "delicious" men in books--so check this one out
