Marika Christian's Phone Kitten introduces an absolutely unique, first-time-ever kind of female sleuth--a totally lovable, intelligent, downright hilarious down-home girl who happens to earn her living as a phone sex worker.Shy, slightly overweight Emily would die if she had to talk dirty face-to-face--especially to her hot cop boy friend. She sure didn't set out to do phone sex--she wanted to be a writer. But when her BFF framed her for plagiarism, she got in a tiny financial hole and saw this ad for "phone actresses"... Hey, it's not nearly as bad as it sounds. No pantyhose or pantsuits, no regular hours, you're your own boss, and lots of people to talk to. Guys, that is. But here's the odd thing--lots of them want to talk about more than Emily's imagined attributes; they start to think of her as the best friend they'll never have to meet. Next thing you know, one of her customers gets killed and Emily knows a lot more about it than she should. But she can't tell the nearest cop, who's also her own true love, because then he'll find out about her secret life. What's a phone kitten to do? Solve the murder herself, of course--because wouldn't it be a great story for the newspaper that wrongly fired her? It's her ticket back to her real life--if it doesn't get her killed.Phone Kitten is your ticket to hours of giggles--so long as you're not looking for raunch. Because this is so not it. Somehow, first-time author Christian manages to handle a potentially smokin' subject with such sly wit, authentic detail, and clever writing that you'll wonder why this subject was ever considered taboo.
