About this listen

After a dry spell, freelance writer Jaine Austen's life is suddenly full of romance. For one thing, she's reconnected with her ex - though her cat, Prozac, isn't happy about it. And Jaine's also got a new ghostwriting gig, working on a steamy novel called Fifty Shades of Turquoise....

Daisy Kincaid is in her 60s and heiress to a fortune. Now she wants to make a name for herself as a romance author...with a little help from Jaine, that is. As Jaine labors away on love scenes, she gets to know the wealthy woman's gentleman friend, her household staff, and her social circle - every one of whom is horrified when Daisy falls under the spell of a much younger stud named Tommy, a rude, crude lothario who's made himself a fixture in Daisy's Bel Air mansion.

After Tommy and Daisy shock everyone by announcing their engagement, it doesn't take long for someone to stab him in the neck - with the solid gold Swiss Army knife that Daisy gave him as a gift. The challenging part is trying to narrow down the list of suspects. Jaine's going to have to put a bookmark in that love story and focus all her creative talent into untangling a tale of money and murder....

The story is pretty cheesy, as are most of the books in this series, but it's cleverly worded. This is a "well the storyline is okay, but it's so funny and cute that I don't care" kind of cozy mystery. The narrator is a little too "valley girl" for me, however. All in all, it's a fun listen!

So funny!

Always a fun cozy mystery. The mystery is good but humor makes it better. This installment had a some good twists. Also, I read this installment out of order and it did show just a bit. So, not a stand alone but it didn’t make too big of a difference for me personally.

Always fun

I love Amy McFadden as a narrator. She has a voice that makes you want to be her best friend. But after years of listening to Brittany Presley be Jaine, I was disappointed by the narrator change. No one says, “ Oh, Pro!” Quite like Brittany can.

Great story different narrator

Death of a Gigolo is interesting. However, the development of the characters and setting up for the murder takes too long. The death needs to occur sooner, with more of the character development occurring after murder. I kept wondering when the gigolo would actually be murdered. The antics of the characters are funny and keep the story moving.

Interesting plot

Why switch narrators now? This one was not as good. The story was great. I was glad to see less involvement of prozac in the story. Looking forward to the next 1.
