Publisher Description
Written in her “trademark darkly sensual style” (Booklist), New York Times bestselling author Linda Howard brings us an electrifying page-turner of passion and suspense with a captivating premise…
What would make the perfect man? That's the delicious topic that heats up the proceedings at a certain table of professional women at their favorite restaurant. What qualities would he have? Would he be tall, dark, and handsome? Caring and warmhearted—or would just muscular do? Jaine Bright and her three girlfriends start off with the basics: he'd be faithful and reliable, the responsible type, and have a great sense of humor.
But as the conversation picks up momentum, so do the quartet's requirements for Mr. Perfect as and they write down a tongue-in-cheek checklist that's both funny and racy. The next thing they know, the List, as it has come to be called, becomes an overnight sensation, spreading through their company like wildfire and grabbing the interest of local newspapers and television coverage. No one expected this avalanche of attention for something that began as a joke among friends. But the joke turns deadly serious when one of the four women is murdered...
The prime suspect in the case is the victim's boyfriend, who was one of a number of men who found the List sexist and offensive. An impenetrable alibi gets him off the hook, but a deadly stalker targets the three remaining friends. Now, with the help of Jaine's neighbor, an unpredictable police detective, the puzzle must be solved as the dream of Mr. Perfect becomes a chilling nightmare.

" This is my favorite Linda Howard book by far. The humor and by play between the main characters is seriously funny. The idea of the mystery is also pretty darn good. Love the friends and the finale of the story is a good twist. "
— Carolyn, 1/13/2014 -
" Sorry but I couldn't get over some parts of this book and couldn't finish. I got perhaps 2/3 of the way through and had to stop. The relationship between Laine and Sam was stupid. "

" So there was this girl I knew in high school who always read romances. I told her that was crap. And told her to read Ken Follett's "Eye of the Needle" for something different. In exchange, I had to read this book which "is not a romance, but rather a mystery." What the heck ever. "
— Josh, 11/2/2013 -
