Apodaca, Jennifer
The Sex on the Beach Book Club
Oversized/Trade Paperback; Good
She's a sharp-tongued, rebel P.I. who eats idiots for breakfast. He's a sexy bookstore owner who may or may not be a womanizing killer. Then again, nobody's perfect...Holly Hillbay is a kick-ass rule breaker with an 80's jacket-sized chip on her sexy shoulder. Want a piece of her? Get in line, pal. What Holly loves most is her job as a P.I. Bringing in pond scum who cheat on their wives makes her day. Like this guy, Wes Brockman, owner of Books on the Beach. Apparently, he's slipping between the covers with another man's wife. Joining Wes's cozy book club is the perfect way to get close to him and expose him for the lying, cheating, pseudo-intellectual creep that he is. He probably wears a turtleneck and a beret. Or not....Problem numero uno: Wes Brockman is one seriously sexy hunk of man who fires up Holly's dormant libido faster than she can say, "I'll take this in hardcover." The guy should come in a home game version. Plus, he's made it clear that Holly's in-your-face attitude is a total turn on. Gulp. Holly doesn't think Wes is having an affair -- not yet, at least (note to self: bikini wax...) --but she's pretty sure the mysterious, dangerous vibe he gives off is no act. He's hiding something, and she intends to find out exactly what it is... especially when one of the book club members is found dead in the store's meeting room.Now, with a page opened to secret identities, blackmail, betrayal, murder, and sex on the beach (the drink) and, well, sex on the beach (not the drink), Holly's into a case that is anything but by-the-book and one that's riskier, hotter, and more delicious than she ever dreamed possible....

The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing
Oversized/Trade Paperback; Good
THE GIRLS' GUIDE TO HUNTING AND FISHING explores the life lessons of Jane, the contemporary American Everywoman who combines the charm of Bridget Jones, the vulnerability of Ally McBeal, and the wit of Lorrie Moore. As she works her way from defiant teenager to reluctant career girl, growing older and getting smarter, Jane maneuvers her way through love, sex, relationships, and the occasional perils of the workplace. She reluctantly succumbs to the questionable advice offered in a pop-psych book entitled HOW TO MEET AND MARRY MR. RIGHT. Accompanied at every turn by the ear-whispering authors (who bear an uncanny resemblance to two popular, hateful high school acquaintances) Jane makes a series of dating decisions that lead her in the right direction -- but for the wrong reasons.

Size 12 is Not Fat: a Heather Wells Mystery
Oversized/Trade Paperback; Good
Would you kill to be thin? HEATHER WELLS ROCKS! Or, at least, she did. That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a dress size or two -- and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina) . Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather's perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman! ) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York's top colleges. That is, until the dead body of a female student from Heather's residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft. The cops and the college president are ready to chalk the death off as an accident, the result of reckless youthful mischief. But Heather knows teenage girls... And girls do not elevator surf. Yet no one wants to listen -- not the police, her colleagues, or the P. I. Who owns the brownstone where she lives -- even when more students start turning up dead in equally ordinary and subtly sinister ways. So Heather makes the decision to take on yet another new career: as spunky girl detective! But her new job comes with few benefits, no cheering crowds, and lots of liabilities, some of them potentially fatal. And nothing ticks off a killer more than a portly ex-pop star who's sticking her nose where it doesn't belong....

In fact, she kisses so many frogs she fears she'll turn green.

Christensen, Kate
In the Drink
Oversized/Trade Paperback; Good
Claudia Steiner never intended for her life to become such a disaster. At the age of twenty-nine she finds herself serving as secretary to an insane, aging socialite who barks orders from her toilet, specializes in devastating backhanded remarks, and expects Claudia to ghostwrite her best-selling novels. Her job pays enough to keep her in overpriced cocktails, cabs, and take-out but doesn't cover the rent on her roach-infested apartment or keep her creditors at bay. Her romantic prospects are no better. She's hopelessly in love with her best friend, a corporate lawyer who may or may not be gay, and she's still relentlessly pursued by her ex-lover, a married unpublished epic poet. All Claudia can rely on--aside from her wry sense of humor and her faith in the medicinal properties of whiskey--is a persistent little flame of belief in herself, which gives her the glimmer of a chance for a happy ending.

The Butcher of Beverly Hills
Oversized/Trade Paperback; Good
WHO IS KILLING THE RICH SOCIETY WIDOWS OF BEVERLY HILLS? Meet Kerry and Terry McAfee -- identical twin sisters who have nothing in common, save their red hair and California-girl looks. Kerry's the good girl, a straight-A student who won a scholarship to UCLA. Terry's the bad girl, whose appetite for nose candy won her a spot in the slammer. When Terry gets out of jail, the twins decide to open their own business as private investigators -- and soon they're keeping L. A. Safe with the help of their trusty sidekicks: a Pomeranian named Paquito and a pug named Muffy. When wealthy socialite Lenore Richling's twentysomething gold-digging boy toy of a husband absconds with ten thousand dollars' worth of her jewelry, she does what anyone in her position would do: she checks herself in for a plastic surgery shopping spree, then calls the McAfee twins for help. While Lenore recuperates from her face-lift in a luxury hotel, the gals hop on their hot-pink Harley-Davidson and begin investigating a bevy of suspicious characters, including Barbie, a bimbo beauty consultant with buns of steel; Daniel Hattrick, a painkiller-pushing plastic surgeon; and Hugh Binion, a silver-haired, snake-tongued Hollywood attorney. Before they know it, the twins are wading in dead husbands, purloined cash, crotchless panties, mystery pills, and a body count high enough to make even tough cookies like them a little squeamish. With a razor-sharp wit that brilliantly brings to life L. A. 's most eccentric personalities, THE BUTCHER OF BEVERLY HILLS marks the debut of two of the hottest sleuths since Stephanie Plum -- and delivers a fast-paced, highly original tale that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Escape From Bridezilla
Oversized/Trade Paperback; Good
She's saying goodbye to sex and the city, and hello to insanity... In this deliciously catty, romantically comical novel, you are cordially invited to join author Jacqueline deMontravel for an over-the-top trip through outrageous Bridedom, where every haute couture wedding preparation is guaranteed to go hilariously awry.... "I WILL NOT TURN INTO ONE OF THOSE WEDDING GIRLS..." This is Emily Briggs's mantra from the minute her boyfriend, Henry, proposes. She is not going to wallpaper her kitchen with wedding magazine tear sheets. She is not going to obsess over the date, tracking weather patterns for the slightest hint of rain. And she is not going to become meds-worthy bipolar over the "perfect" place. Besides, she already has the ideal place -- the Bridgehampton summer home of her childhood. The one her parents have just sold. Okay, time to go crazy. Now, as her "Town & Country" mother tries to pick out her wedding night lingerie, Henry grows obsessed with "let's-do-lunch" work meetings, and a mysterious blonde with a startlingly perfect derriere stalks their Tribeca loft, Emily is turning into the Bride from Hell, leaving no part of Manhattan -- from Bergdorf's dressing rooms to Tiffany's sparkling cases -- unscorched. The only person who seems to understand is J3 Hopper. Easy-going and easy-on-the-eyes, with a love of art and a habit of turning Emily's crazed tirades into delirious laugh-fests, J3 is the sort of man every manic bride needs and wants. And that just may be the biggest problem of all....
