The Givenchy Code

A mind-bending code spawned from the mind of a madman...or maybe just a jealous ex.

A desperate race through the cathedrals and hotels of New York City...with a teeny bit of time for shopping, it's true.

An astonishing truth concealed for years, unveiled at last...with more than a little help from a supercute new guy.

As if a recent breakup, scrounging for rent money, and lusting after designer shoes weren't enough, Melanie Prescott starts receiving obscure codes and clues from a menacing stranger. She attempts to solve the mysteries -- enlisting the help of a tall, dark, and handsome new friend -- with high hopes for the multimillion-dollar reward guaranteed at the end (handbags, sunglasses, and shoes, oh my!). That is, if she can survive the deadly game.

Sexy and Scary

Melanie Prescott's life is complicated enough with picking up doggie doo to make her rent payment and stressing about her dissertation. She definitely doesn't need her ex-boyfriend trying to bribe her back with a pair of Givenchy shoes. But hey, they are Givenchy! How could she possibly say no to...

Thriller-Romance

Take this book for what it is, fluffy, funny chick lit. I enjoyed it and love those kinds of fun reads. One of the most thrilling/fun suspense novels I have read in a long time. It's like a chicklit version of Da Vinci Code. I enjoyed the real-life tie-ins, the fantasies about bumping into...

Clue Lover's Delight

What a fun premise, even though death and mayhem are woven through the story. For anyone who likes to solve puzzles and figure out clues, this trilogy is a a good read. The first two books in the series are better than the third, but to figure out who is behind the nuttiness, you have to read all...

I Could NOT put this down!!!

This book was so good, I finished it in one night. I loved the suspense and they way the book went from Third person to first person, giving more than one POV of what was going on. I picked up this book on a whim at Borders earlier this week, and I'm very glad I did.

Pleasant fluff, couldn't read another however

Don't ask me why I ended up reading this, but I like to think of myself as "open-minded," so I did. It's an amusing way to spend the time. No surprises as to the plot, which could have been recycled from old MacGuyver episodes, and the mysterious clues weren't all that mysterious, but the writing...
