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.

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”
