When Cassidy Blair takes on her third job as amateur sleuth, she never expects to end up in the back of a shaggin' wagon with a has-been pop star called Jason Wilde, but Cass was never the best judge of character, or career for that matter.
Still recovering from the black eye and five kilos she gained on her last job, she just wants to eat some low fat yogurt, take it easy and forget the whole kissing incident with Officer Sam Tasker.
Well, maybe not necessarily forget, but he seems to have dropped off the face of the earth and Cassidy's getting twitchy. And now that she's a little bit in love and a whole lot broke, she's ill-prepared for the mysterious Ned Maxwell.
Cass stumbles into another hotbed of trouble in THE HAPPINESS PUNCH, the sequel to THE VODKA DIALOGUE.
