This is Jane Heller's first book and while she has written several others, this is the one that I always recommend when somebody asks for a funny book.

And what could be funnier than a recently divorced princess type turning to cleaning other people's houses. And then what could be even funnier then when the main character becomes involved in a murder and has to solve the crime to exonerate herself.

Don't miss this quick read. Jane Heller's writing and characters are witty and had me laughing out loud as I turned the pages. Now I can't wait for any new book from this author.

This is the third Jane Heller book I've read. As usual, I found her story and her heroine entertaining, and if you're in the mood for something light and enjoyable, this may do it. I'm starting to have problems with her characterization. While her heroines are funny, witty, smart, believable, the men they inevitably end up with (and they do always seem to end up with someone) are way too perfect. On the other side, most of the rest of the characters in each story, friends, coworkers, neighbors, bosses, relatives, whatever, are awful, evil, obnoxious and destructive. I know this is mass market fiction, but Heller's books are good enough that I wish she'd try for a little more balance. It would also help keep up the suspense of what will happen.

I found this book to be hysterical, wit fty, exciting and interesting. the entire book held my attention. This was the first book by Jane Heller that I read, and then bought Female Intelligence and The Club. They all have the same wit, fast paced subjects. I normally never read these type of books, but I think I found myself a new favorite author. I will recommend her books to all my friends and family, even strangers.

Imagine the zany antics of Lucille Ball droped into the problems of contemporary life, and you'll be close to Cha Cha Cha. It' a delightful tale from start to finish. Thanks for the fun Jane!

I read all of Jane Heller's novels a summer ago and found them to be all 4 star books with one 5 star, her "Sis Boom Bah." These are all a lot of fun. They are light, comedic, and even satisfy the rudiments of a murder mystery. The heroine in this one has been enjoying the good life until her husband announces he is leaving. He leaves her with a complete financial mess on her hands and she ultimately has to find work as the maid of a truly obnoxious author who ultimately turns up dead and thus puts in the murder mystery angle. This is a perfect beach or vacation read. I enjoyed reading them one right after another and you might enjoy them that way too. If you like author Jennifer Crusie, you will find Heller's work similar.

This was her first novel that Jane Heller wrote. I don't think it is her best. I liked it and it read fast. It wasn't as good as her other ones. I loved Sis Boom Bah, and The club, and Princess Charming and especially Name Dropping. That was her best.

I have read all of Jane Heller's other books except for "The Club" and found this one greatly lacking in both story line and in the author's usual humor. Both seemed very canned to me. I would, however recommend her other books.

This is the first time that I've ever read anything by Ms. Heller and I found this book to be very amusing. This book is not brain surgery and is without a doubt considered a light read. This is the reason I picked up this book and I was not let down.

Ms. Heller has managed to combine not only fun and interesting characters, interesting storylines, and humor into fast and enjoyable read.

Alison Waxman Koff has hit rock bottom. Her second husband has decided to leave her for his first wife, not only that but they are totally broke after the stockmarket crash. Alison now must put her life back together, find a way to keep the bank from foreclosing on her house, and at the same time find a way to hold her head high. Finding a job is not turning out to be the easist thing in the world! Add to this a mother who is not the warmest person in the world, a wise cracking hunk that Alison wishes she could forget, and a murder and you have the makings for this fun book.

As stated earlier this is a very light read. Alison and Cullie (the wise cracking hunk) are great character's and the mystery surrounding the murder victim is actually interesting and fun. Ms. Heller manages to add a few twists and turns before the actual murdered is unvailed. For an easy read you really can't go wrong with "Cha Cha Cha."

This book is a nice blend of romance and murder mystery, with a touch of comedy thrown in for good measure. It ended in a clever but suspenseful way that I didn't anticipate.

I've never read this author before but I was pleasantly surprised by this book. If I have one criticism is that there is some foul language in the book. That's just my personal opinion however as it doesn't bother some people. I just think it isn't necessary to the story-line or the character development.

Awesome book but I do agree with another reviewer's comment that said that all of the coworkers, bosses, friends, and all that all seem to be to evil and maybe she should create a balance.
