A wannabe Private Investigator has to start somewhere. If that means incurring
the wrath of her suspects, then so be it. When Jobeth O'Brien awakens from
the floor of her kitchen, her battered face and the memory of an angry
visitor tells her that she is close to something important in her investigation.
She pulls herself together and goes to run her paper route--a job that
pays the bills while she pursues her other vocation. Her romps in the backseat
of her Falcon with a wealthy socialite, Phoebe, are a welcome distraction
from her excursions into the developing facts of the blackmail and prostitution
operation. As the case progresses, Jobeth fends off her growing need for
Phoebe, as well as the advances from her barracuda landlady. Amid these
challenges, she stakes out her prey and runs for her life, continuing the
investigation that pulls her into close calls, unexpected allies, and more
secrets. But Jobeth has secrets of her own, and only love can excavate
them.
"An intriguing and enjoyable read, Armchair Detective is the perfect
rendezvous for the lover of escapist erotic fiction, as the reader becomes
a voyeur to lusty liasons. The mystery fan will be equally satisfied as
the story sticks to a well-paced, suspenseful plot that runs parallel to
the budding romance. The beauty of Armchair Detective is that Baeli manages
to balance the romance and suspense storylines, without sacrificing the
credibility of either."
