If he's Cary Grant, where's his Girl Friday?
Mitch Peabody was learning pretty fast that the life of a private detective was nothing like the movies. He'd envisioned a world of tough-talking detectives and smart-mouthed, stunning dames. Instead he saw case after case of cheating husbands, suspicious wives and unsuspecting mistresses…until she walked through the door.
Right down to her stilettos, Mae Sullivan was a knockout with a lethal body—and a lethal family to go with it. There was something not quite on the up-and-up about her, but she came with a case he couldn't afford to refuse…and left him with a case of lust he hadn't had since high school. It didn't take long for him to fall for her, hook, line and sinker. But was Mae interested only in catching the double-crossing crooks who murdered her uncle…or did the lady want to catch him?

Re: What the Lady Wants
很歡樂的愛情喜劇,主角們的幽默對話讓我一直大笑。雖然這本首刷是1995年,不過比起「跟我打賭我愛你」我更喜歡這本
配角們的描述也很活靈活現,讓整本書很有畫面
書本最有趣的對話當屬Mitch和Mae爭論"laying the pipe" "opening the west",讓我笑到合不攏嘴,真正見識到Jennifer Crusie的功力。
Mae逼問Mitch的前圖書館女友名單的場景也很有趣。結論是兩人都有緊咬問題不放,打破砂鍋問到底的精神
Mae的親人不斷威脅Mitch離開Mae--黑手黨背景叔叔Gio威脅Mitch的客戶、Carlo一直破壞Mitch的車子、叔叔Claud對Mitch實行經濟制裁,基本下應該是讓人很厭惡的劇情,不過在Crusie的筆下寫來就是很有喜感。
看完這本書,讓我很想把Crusie其他的作品也找來拜讀。
