Fatal Attraction introduced us to boiled bunnies, but this one is hardboiled, with an acute sense of humour and an odd way to make money. Grace Smith, private investigator extraordinaire, stumbles upon another complicated case in a sleepy seaside town, and this time she may wish she hadn't tried to make ends meet by dressing up as a six foot bunny.

There are few female crime writers out there who appeal to readers of both chicklit and crime, but Liz Evans strikes this balance with her sparky heroine and witty dialogue.
