If you like your suspense novels to come with a gritty, hard-boiled detective at the helm then this is not for you!
The legendary Foot Tickler of Oakfield, Connecticut has resumed his bad habits after 20 years on hiatus, and when he escalates to much more serious crimes Fiona Blake, the beautiful but underachieving local reporter, is the only one who knows the cops have the wrong man. Fiona v. The Foot Tickler is, in essence, a mystery with a chick-lit twist.
You probably already know someone like Fiona: she's coasting through life, drinking a little bit too much, and collecting broken relationships. As the only reporter at The Oakfield Tribune, she is used to dealing with incompetent police—who can't keep their eyes off her rear end—and cranky townspeople, but when the bizarre act of foot-tickling turns to murder she begins to suspect the police have the wrong man behind bars, and sets out to exonerate him. In over her head, Fiona relies on a colorful cast of characters to help solve the crime—while trying to make sense of her personal life—in this darkly funny novel with a cinematic sensibility.
