Isabel Stanley has a twin she thinks is better looking and more outgoing than her. Her mother is always nagging her to get married. Her life is low-key, boring, and she plays keyboards in a band with some young boys and goes to church choir like a good little Baptist girl should.

All this changes when she drives home from choir practice one night, and a tall, handsome stranger jumps into her car while being shot at. Her world is about to turn upside down and change for the better, and she is about to find out that she's highly attractive to more than one member of the opposite gender.

This book is fun, with a compelling mystery and just the right kind of romance to keep you glued to the pages. Also, Jones has a real talent for composing sharp, sparkling wit in her characters' dialog and for keeping you guessing right up to the end. Best of all, her heroine, Stan, is a humorously self-deprecating woman most of us other women can relate to, and that's what makes this story so much of a treat. Sexy without ever resorting to trashiness, giving equal time to a truly engrossing whodunnit, it's almost nostalgic. Romantic mysteries of this quality are very hard to find, and I'm looking forward to reading more books by this intelligent, witty author.
