Sex on Tuesdays
When the Tribute's sex-therapist chokes to death at her desk, Danielle Summers takes over the woman's daily Sex On… column. Dani, unlike her predecessor, Daisy Mae, has no qualifications or background knowledge for the job. Instead she procures her answers from the Internet, self-help books and Megan, a retired prostitute who's had sex with thousands of guys.
About to turn 50, Dani yearns for more than one toothbrush in the bathroom, more than one car in the garage and definitely more than a greyhound with flatulence sharing her bed at night. The solution, she decides, is to start dating.
Meanwhile, one of Dani's readers (known only as Distinctly Frustrated) has written in asking her for advice. He complains his wife is not concentrating during sex, so Dani suggests foreplay using chocolate sauce and dress-ups. However, much to Dani's horror, a saboteur changes her reply to 'Shove something hot down the bitch's throat.'
The following morning, Distinctly Frustrated discovers his wife dead. Someone has indeed followed Dani's advice and 'shoved something hot' down the wife's throat. A red hot poker.
After first suspecting Dani due to evidence in her handbag and her sabotaged column suggestion, the police take the husband in for questioning.
Could the killer actually be Jack Rivers, sleazy bad boy from Gape, a rival newspaper? Did he really pretend to be Dani's blind date just to get her in an uncompromising position so he could publish photos of her rolls of fat and cellulite in his trashy magazine – or was it all to do with slipping incriminating evidence into her handbag while she was otherwise engaged?
Or what about Alice? The Tribute's spaced-out receptionist-cum-tea-lady, who was Daisy Mae's stepsister. When Daisy Mae died, Alice thought she'd get the job of writing the Sex On… column. Jealous of Dani's success, she adds salt to her tea, spills hot coffee on her lap and sticks pins in a Dani Summers lookalike voodoo doll. But would Alice take such a giant step forward and kill DF's wife to frame Dani for murder?
While chasing a killer, Dani discovers Mr. Right is slap bang under her nose. He's the guy who's been looking out for her all along. The guy who's there for her when her blind dates turn dangerous. The guy who shoves her out from under a lethal four-wheel drive intent on leaving its tire prints straight down the middle of her body.
Can Dani survive investigating the murder long enough to find true love?
A new romantic mystery from the acclaimed author of CHASING CAN BE MURDER.

I really liked Dani. And her mom, Gwen. And her new love interest, Simon. They make old people look like, well, old farts! As much as Dani had some issues with turning fifty, and what aging does to your body, she was a whole lot of laughs. And still seemed pretty naive about sex. I mean, she couldn't even answer her sex column without the help of an ex-prostitute. What was she doing writing a sex column anyway? Joe really didn't do the right thing by hiring her on. He needed to grow some balls and tell his wife Penny (Dani's sister) that Dani wasn't the right old maid for the task.
June Whyte needs to write more mysteries because she injects a lot of fun, some tantalizing sex and credible characters into her novels. I'd really like to see this one turned into a series and even her greyhound trainer mystery would make for a good series, too. I also like hoe June puts dogs in her stories. Every good mystery should have at least one pet in it. The furrier the better!

This was an incredibly fun read! I loved the characters and the premise of the story. The elements of mystery were well done. I read this book a year ago and, since then, have picked up two more books written by this author. Her stories never disappoint. Sex on Tuesdays will keep you laughing and turning pages all the way to the end. Highly recommended!

It took me long enough, but I finally got around to finishing this book. It was just "okay".
My original feelings about Dani lasted through out the rest of the story, and I'd solved the "who dunnit" part not even half way through the book ( although I didn't know the why).
