What's a Girl Gotta Do?

Book excerpt: Arthur Ellis Award Winner: The “flat-out funny” first mystery in the series featuring a newly single reporter trying to clear herself of murder (Publishers Weekly). Meet Robin Hudson. Dumped by her husband, she’s been demoted to third-string reporter at New York’s All News Network. Her downstairs neighbor thinks she’s a hooker. Louise Bryant, her finicky cat, refuses to chow down on anything but stir-fry. Now Robin’s being blackmailed by a late-night caller who knows her childhood nickname and other personal stuff, like whom she gave her virginity to. What could be worse? Being the prime suspect in the bludgeoning death of her mystery caller—that’s what. In life, he was a PI who had the skinny on everyone. Now, while Robin is undercover investigating a suspicious sperm bank, she must also find the killer and clear her name. In her downtime, she’s amusing herself with her hot new boy toy, who may not be Mr. Right but could be Mr. Close Enough. When someone else is murdered, Robin races to break the story before she makes headlines again—as the next victim. The Robin Hudson Mystery series is a winner of the Sherlock Award for Best Comic Detective. What's a Girl Gotta Do? is the 1st book in the Robin Hudson Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
