Summary

Charley Van Leeuwen can tell by a man’s kiss whether he’s been drinking Taittinger or Veuve Clicquot. Not that she kisses many men, a fact her friends deplore. So imagine their surprise when she came home to San Francisco with a new husband. Jack Fairfax is the definition of tall, dark, and handsome. But is he a mild-mannered meteorologist as he claims?

Critics Review

…a modern day Nick and Nora Charles…head an engaging cast in this witty, suspenseful first adventure - may there be many more!– “Donna Andrews, author of the Meg Langslow mysteries”
Comic cozy meets crazed spy thriller in this debut novel short-listed for Britain’s 2003 Crime Writers’ Association Debut Dagger award.– “Booklist”

At times Charley comes across as little more than a collection of references to designer labels and expensive champagne, but her engaging voice (‘It would be nice if I could say I look like Aubrey Hepburn, but I’m not delusional’) will keep readers turning the pages.– “Publishers Weekly”
