Christine McMullen is a high-class psychologist. Okay, maybe not high class, but she has an office and patients. Elaine, her drop-dead gorgeous, wannabe-actress secretary, is also her best friend and has been since school days.

Elaine has her pick of millions of men, so who does she pick but one of Chrissy's rejects, a techno nerd who is short--and lacks personality. And lately he is extra short on appearances. He never returns from a business trip to Las Vegas, and Chrissy feels duty bound to help her friend find out why. It could be that he has taken up with a showgirl. But, he might also be dead.

While snooping around the geek's office she meets, and is attracted to, one of his co-workers. But how much does he know? Can she trust him? Will she regret giving in to the attraction? And will he kill her when he finds her snooping in his home office?

Always in the background is Rivera, a good-looking cop. Shouldn't every single woman know one? He wants Chrissy's information about this case. He wants her to stay out of it. He wants her.

Lois Greiman's book is witty, smart and fun. The most fun I've had reading since the last Stephanie Plum novel. I hated for it to end and hope there will be more about the sassy shrink.

Armchair Interview says: This is the second good read from Lois Greiman that we have reviewed, the other being Unzipped. Fun, fun, fun!
