Synopsis

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 sixties 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 . . .

Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review. Death of a Gigolo is the 17th entry in the Jaine Austen Mystery Series and it well might have been the 3rd, 9th or 12th cause it’s a carbon copy of all the previous books. Although I can understand the “i......more

Goodreads review by Lisa~Ilovemypug~

Death of a Gigolo is another adventure into the life of Jaine Austin. Jaine lives with her cat Prozac, a wonderfully spoiled feline who definitely has her human trained. Jaine has never had much luck in the love department, but she is sure she has found the one this time, if only Prozac would warn up......more
