Publisher Description

Twenty-eight-year-old Tomi Reyes is a documentary filmmaker who moonlights as a receptionist to pay the bills. It’s a pretty easy gig—until she receives an unexpected promotion, and her somewhat interesting life goes totally insane.

For starters, her new boss, Scott Martin, morphs from nice guy into creepy dictator in the space of, like, five seconds. Then Justin Thyme, Tomi’s occasional boyfriend, is found murdered and stuffed inside his refrigerator. Before Tomi can get over the shock, her friend Whim meets the same gruesome fate. Tomi has a sneaking suspicion that new-boss-Scott has a hand in all of this, but the evidence to both of the murders is pointing to her! She is wondering how she’ll look in an orange jumper, when her childhood pal is assigned to the case. Nicholas “Nickels” Turino, is now an FBI agent, and a hot one at that. When the killer starts stalking Tomi—going as far as turning her fridge into her waiting tomb—the not-so-swift hand of justice drives Tomi to act. She sets out to unmask the killer herself or die trying. Seriously underdressed for such a cold-blooded death, Tomi is determined to live.

With its larger-than-life heroine and delightfully sarcastic tone, Spitfire offers readers a refreshing alternative to the ho-hum crime novels crowding today’s bookshelves.

"Despite it being a bit predictable, the book had some (often humorous) twists. I read this one straight through, cover to cover! I enjoyed it so much and the humor and wit Annette's writing displayed had me laughing out loud the entire time! I cannot wait to read the next book!"

    " I enjoyed this book. It was a quick but satisfying read. I figured out before they did who the killer was and that it was more complicated than it appeared but I enjoyed the main character and her friends. I too found her immature but not unwilling to grow up (which I find annoying in both fictional and real people). I also liked her devotion to her family. I also liked her recognition that, for her, her job was not her career, something I can identify with. I did find it interesting that she was unable to tolerate boredom and would plug into her devices T sometimes inappropriate times but apparently that's common now. "

    " This is an excellent book with compelling characters. It is warm and humorous and suspenseful, and the plot wasn't too predictable. I wish Annette Sandoval would write more books like this. "

    " I liked this book. A funny, light read and it was well-paced and I really like the main character. I would give it four stars except as mysteries go, it was a pretty easy one to figure out. I knew who the killer was pretty early in the story. I like mysteries to be a bit more challenging. "

    " Spitfire-a receptionist who gets promoted to a admin-targeted by a serial killer......I enjoyed the book-some parts of the book just annoyed me, however I would share this book with my friends "

    " A fun light read. Like others, I thought it was a bit padded at the edges but quirky and endearing enough to be the kickoff novel for a successful suspense/mystery/romance series. If you like Janet Evanovitch's Steph Plum you'll like Tomi. Not a bit deep but quite enjoyable. "

    " I read the first chapter and I had to pre-order it even though I don't own a Kindle. But I do have the app on my phone and for this book, I will make do with the tiny screen. Yes, it was that good. "

    " This is the author's first novel and it had numerous typical first-novel missteps, but I enjoyed it and hope she writes more. "

    " Great humor, quick read, though the author gives the impression every business in San Francisco has a clever, trendy name. The mystery sort of died at the end (no pun intended) and the murderer's reveal was anticlimactic because he/she never seemed like a real threat. "

    " This book was super-cute. Not great literature, but a very entertaining, fluffy mystery. Oh, the first chapter was an exchange of emails, which I find very annoying, but that ended quickly. "

    " Ok book, not to be sexist, but this book was geared more toward a female perspective. More romance than action / suspense. "
