Fat Chance (Finley Anderson Tanner Mystery, #3)

by Rhonda Pollero

Finley becomes a homeowner in this new adventure when her mother sells her a little cottage on trendy Palm Beach that her mother and her late stepfather bought years ago. But odd things start happening at the new house, scaring Finley and forcing her to call sexy P.I. Liam McGarrity. To make matters worse, the law firm has hired Tony Caprelli to head up a criminal division, and he insists that Finley take continuing education courses so she can assist him. The only thing Finley hates more than work is school, but she goes along with the plan because Tony is primo dating material. Between the pressures of work and school, a creepy new house to renovate and decorate, and an attractive new attorney to think about, Finley investigates the murder.

Reviews

[MurderByDeath]

I've just re-read this in anticipation of the next book, Slightly Irregular. I had actually thought this series was cancelled, so I was thrilled to see the next two books out.

I love this series - I think it's a lot of fun to read; very entertaining with a great cast of characters. Finley is an absolute idiot when it comes to personal finance, but still a hoot. Lots of interesting romantic tension, and really excellent mysteries.

Fat Chance is about a corpse Finley finds in her new 'handyman special' beach house her mother railroads her into purchasing. Her attempts to identify the decade-plus old corpse lands her in the thick of things. Lots of humour, a bit of action, a new romantic possibility. Just a really entertaining read. I can't wait to get started on Slightly Irregular.
