Phone Kitten

Phone Kitten introduces a heroine unlike any other in the sleuthing trade. She is a plain-spoken, clever and very funny woman with a down-to-earth streak, and she makes her living talking on the telephone for a phone sex line. That job gives her a quick ear for people and a knack for hearing what they leave unsaid, which turns out to be useful well outside the office. She is set up as a lively amateur investigator whose homespun common sense and quick wit make her a memorable guide through the story. The mix of an unusual day job and a sharp, self-deprecating voice gives the novel its light, comic tone, and the laughs keep coming while the mystery unfolds.
