n nMadcap dangers...amusing debut, with [an] attractive lesbian sleuth... Kirkus Reviewsn nA winner. Let me assure you that you wont be taking a gamble on reading this delightful romp. Mystery Lovers Review n nJessie Chandler is literary kin to both Cotterill and West...unabashed fun but also much bolder than traditional cozies. Library Journaln nShay OHanlon is the co-owner of the hip, quirky Rabbit Hole, a popular coffee shop in Uptown Minneapolis. Police detective JT Bordeaux and her partner show up at the Hole in search of Shays best friend, Coop--a chain-smoking, vegetarian tree hugger--whos wanted for questioning in connection with the bludgeoning death of his less-than-respectable boss, Stanley Kinky Anderson. Coops prints are all over the murder weapon--an over-sized, bronzed bingo marker--and the cops have themselves a prime suspect.n nSuddenly, Shays quiet but highly caffeinated world spins out of control faster than a ride on a fairground Tilt-A-Whirl as she tries to save her friend. Complicating matters are a couple of bumbling mobsters, a missing truckload of stolen nuts, an abused mutt named Dawg, a kidnapping or two, and a very persistent Detective Bordeaux. Will Shay and her friends succeed in their quest to clear Coop and nail the murderer or will their nutty caper wind up deadly?n
