F*ck It isn't just the name of her favorite smoothie-it's also Verona Montero's approach to murder investigations.
Verona Montero loves calling herself a private dick because it makes her sound like she's in a 1940s detective movie. And it means she gets to say "dick" a lot. So when Miami-a walking Barbie doll with an emoji addiction and bikinis smaller than Verona's patience-needs proof her billionaire husband Javier is cheating, Verona's all over it. Especially when it means working with divorce lawyer Quentin, whose cologne gives her what she professionally diagnoses as "crotch headaches."
Then bam-Javier turns up dead in Greece, and suddenly Miami's vacant blue eyes are staring down a murder charge. Her manicured fingers might end up smudging prison bars unless Verona can prove the bombshell doesn't have the brainpower to pull off premeditated murder. With her client's billions at stake and a hefty retainer padding her bank account, Verona's jetting to Mykonos faster than you can say "Dark and Stormy."
Between conning hotel staff, interrogating sexy bartenders, and recruiting a drag queen to go undercover in a secret sex club, mounting evidence suggests that the wrong person might be taking the fall. Now Verona's facing her toughest moral dilemma yet: pursue justice for a dead predator, or let a killer with excellent taste in victims walk free.
If you love your mysteries with enough F-bombs to make a sailor blush, this wickedly funny whodunit delivers the goods. Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series and Elle Cosimano's Finlay Donovan series.
"Verona is a foulmouthed private detective who loves to call herself a "private dick," and her latest investigation is anything but straightforward. Narrator Carlotta Brentan skillfully brings to life a vibrant cast of characters spanning various ages, backgrounds, and social classes as Verona works to provide her client, Miami, with proof that her much older husband, Javier, is unfaithful. The case takes a dramatic turn when Javier is found dead in Greece. Verona's challenge becomes twofold: Not only must she demonstrate that ditzy Miami couldn't have committed premeditated murder-she also needs to uncover alternative suspects. The surprising final twist is sure to satisfy listeners.
Brentan's engaging delivery, paired with witty authorial asides, adds charm and humor to this offbeat mystery."
