Synopsis
One of the most deliriously entertaining novels of the year— for fans of Janet Evanovich and Jennifer Crusie.
Gwen Applebee's suicide doesn't make sense. Sex therapist Saylor Oz is certain that the late perfume maker and fashionista wouldn't have been caught dead wearing a fanny pack. Yet one was strapped around her waist. And what's up with the coded message in her "suicide note?"Well, it seems Gwen stumbled upon an ancient formula with great powers, and someone was willing to kill for it.
Now it's up to Saylor to find out where it's hidden—and from the dark corners of Brooklyn to the glittering skyscrapers of Manhattan, she must outrun a killer, every glamorous step of the way.

Saylor Oz is a sex therapist. One of her close friends from college, Gwen Applebee, is found murdered. Saylor knows something is up because Gwen was wearing a fanny pack. Gwen wouldn't have been caught dead wearing one.
Plus Saylor realizes there is a coded message in Gwen's suicide note. She must work at decoding it to find the killer.
Saylor is abducted and must find the formula they want or her family and roommate, Benita, will be killed. Can she and Benita figure out who the killer is without putting themselves in further danger?
I really enjoyed this book. Saylor and Benita were fun characters. The author did a great job of plotting the mystery so that the reader doesn't figure out who done it before the protagonist does.
I hope there will be more books with Saylor. I highly recommend this book.
What a fabulous thrill ride!by Ansley_Cooper

This book grabs you from the word go. The premise is wonderful, the characters are fascinating, and the action is to die for!
If you like books that keep you guessing and suck you deep into their world, this is the book for you.
Alyson Roy has been added to my must-buy list and I'll be haunting bookstores for their next installment.
