Of course not. Well, not really. And neither had Rachel Benjamin—until she finds herself working for Wall Street terror Glenn Gallagher on his latest pet project. Rachel thinks the deal—and Glenn—are more than a little shady, but she has a promotion at stake. It's either keep her lips sealed or kiss her partnership goodbye. Or kill Glenn. (Just kidding!)
At least she has Peter. Rachel's too-good-to-be-true fiancé has moved in, and while his stuff is everywhere and he's strangely jealous of her friendly new coworker, she's confident they'll figure things out. It would help if Glenn's killer schedule didn't have Rachel working around the clock. Really, the man must be stopped.
Rachel's jokes about killing her boss don't seem so funny when Glenn is murdered. And it's even less laughable when she becomes the prime suspect. With the police hot on her very stylish heels, and the threat of an unflattering orange jumpsuit in her future, Rachel's learning the hard way to be careful what you wish for. She needs to catch the true killer quickly, before the killer catches her.

In Sturman's witty third mystery about stylish, hardworking Manhattanite Rachel Benjamin (after 2005's The Jinx
), the investment banker is on partner track both with her live-in boyfriend, Peter, and her Wall Street firm, where she's toiling on a risky leveraged buyout. But her slave-driver boss, Glenn Gallagher, makes her life hell, and when she begins receiving odd anonymous e-mails warning against the buyout, she wonders about his business ethics. Gallagher makes money but not so many friends—his abused employees resent him, as does his ex-wife, Naomi. But when he's murdered, Rachel becomes a chief suspect, and she must rely on her friends to help her evade police and her ingenuity to clear her name—and avoid becoming the next victim. -

Working with the sarcastic and rude Glenn Gallagher is enough to induce saucy sleuth Rachel Benjamin to consider career options, but that doesn't mean she murdered him. Yet when Gallagher is poisoned--with his own pencil no less--the police immediately pencil in Rachel as the one and only suspect. Now Rachel must put her problems dealing with her new live-in fiance, Peter Forrest, on hold in order to track down a clever killer determined to frame her for the murder. Sturman's latest Rachel Benjamin mystery has the same delectable blend of snappy writing, chick-lit liveliness, and clever plotting as the first two books in this delightfully entertaining series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
