Cross Your Heart and Hope He Dies by Jenny Edler Moke

 


Juliette is just trying to save her publishing company with the tell all book of the year from Warren Ellingham when he surprisingly falls dead at a flashy event.  The police think it's a heart attack but one of the last things she heard him say was how the doctor thinks he's got a great heart Juliette knows there's more going on than meets the eye.

Juliette prefers to work alone and solve this mystery - thank her parents for making her independent to a fault.  She also prefers her sexual partners to be non-committal as well.  Her friend Kate keeps trying to set her up with a dud of a doctor but he's boring and only wants a long term commitment.

Cross Your Heart and Hope he Dies is all mystery with a dash of spicy romance.  I really enjoyed this book and found it a fast read.  I really liked the characters.  After reading the book I found out there was a 1st book that was hinted at in the book but I definitely think you can read it stand alone.  I'll be adding the first book to my bookshelf soon.
