Scott 'Scat' Delaney is a world famous jazz singer. He has ample opportunity to stray and his girlfriend Alice, needs to know she cant trust him. Introducing Florence Love, Private Investigator. Florence has just ten days to entrap an A-Lister. Whilst sticking to her cardinal rule: One Kiss, With Tongues, Five Seconds - Case Closed. A master of body language, evolutionary science and nifty disguises, her approach is unconventional, her sucess rate excellent. But targets are rarely as beautiful as Scat. Never fall for the target. That is very bad form indeed.
I requested a copy of this book from Bookbridgr as it seemed lighthearted and fun. I also adored the cover, it's cute and catchy.
The book is about Florence who is a private investigator, who works along side her brother to entrap people, for anything. She has one rule, one kiss, with tounges, five seconds, then case is closed. Never fall for anyone whilst on the case. Sounds pretty good, and it is really.
The case we are presented with is that of a famous jazz singer, one who Florence believes near impossible to get anything on. His 'girlfriend' Alice is due to go public and wants to ensure that she has nothing to worry about. He's not like all other famous folk and strays at the first chance. It does make for a good story.
My only gripe with this book, was it seemed at times cahotic, sometime there was too much going on, too many stories interwoven. We're often brought back in time to when Florence was a little girl and find out her mother aparently died when she was young. Florence at the young age accepted this, but now a personal investigator with what seems like someone following her, she beings to question her mothers disappearence.
Towards the back end of the book, the story at times seems like crazy. It went so many different ways. I found some of the medical jargon very hard to understand but I'm sure it worked with the overall story. The ending, I was disappointed with, but there is to be a sequal to this book and I'm sure answers will be given there.
Throughout the book, there are quirky little personal investigator tips. Which are interesting.
Overall a good debut by Louise Lee. I'll never knock anyone who manages to get a book published as it is their baby. Probably not something I would have chosen, had the cover not been so pretty!
