Must read this book. It was so entertaining. I read it all in one sitting. The two leads have amazing chemistry and the hero was unbelievably yummy. There are so many laugh out loud moments, which i adore with romance and mystery! All i can say is "more please".

sex driven, not plot driven...
this was an entertaining quick read. presented as a romantic 'whodunit', it excelled in the romance and failed as a whodunit. if you aren't looking for a romantic mystery, but more of a light read with dynamic and numerous sex scenes, this is definitly the book for you.

Get A Clue....Great Read
This was a great read. I really love Jill Shalvis, she knows how to keep her readers in suspense.
Cooper is a cop who has recently quit his job to find himself. Breeanne was left at the alter and her life has been turned upside down. They both end up in the same lodge in Lake Tahoe to put their lives back together. They are both attracted to each other and the chemistry is great. While at the lodge a murder occurs and Cooper falls back into his "cop" mode to discover the murderer. In the mean time Bree is afraid of everything including her growing feels for Cooper. The book takes twist and turns and the "who did it" will not be obvious in the end. I really enjoyed the book.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Jennifer Wardrip - Personal Read
Take the heat and sizzle from an episode of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, mix it in with the mystery from MURDER, SHE WROTE, then stir it together with a dash of the exotic from SIX FEET UNDER and what you have is Jill Shalvis's romantic-mystery-comedy, GET A CLUE. The current installment in the "Wicked" Women Whodunit series, this book is sure to make you laugh, pant, and cheer-all at the same time.

Breanne Mooreland is having a really bad day. Left standing at the altar, she decides there's only one way to get over the embarrassment of being jilted-go on her honeymoon and rack up as many expensive charges as she can on Dean "the lying rat monkey's" credit card. But the day that started out bad is about to get a lot worse, when she's forced to endure the airplane flight from hell, loses her luggage somewhere over Timbuktu, and arrives at the mountain lodge only to be snowed in by the mother of all blizzards. Then, finally entering her expensive and all-ready-paid- for-by-Dean-and-filled-with-erotic-gift-baskets honeymoon suite, she finds a naked man standing in the shower. Her shower. A man who, for all intents and purposes, has absolutely no intention of vacating the suite-with or without Breanne's permission, and whether or not she decides to stay in the suite with him.
Now the phone is dead, the electricity is out, there's only the one house for the two of them, and there's a dead body in the attic. There's also a man who looks like a member of a motorcycle gang claiming to be the butler, a missing manager, a sexy maid, and a handful of other nefarious characters running around the house-and no one seems to know what to do or how to do it.
Now naked guy, aka San Francisco Detective Cooper Scott, is feeling desperate. Not only is he unbelievably attracted to Breanne, his houseguest, but now there's a dead body to attend to, a missing manager to find, and suspects to question. Breanne's honeymoon-all ready minus the groom-isn't shaping up to be much of a vacation, and Cooper's determined to keep her safe. And it doesn't have anything to do with the pink vibrator in their suite-really.
Jill Shalvis has penned another winner, an exciting mix of action-adventure, police procedural, wickedly funny whodunit, and steamy romance. You can't go wrong picking up a copy of GET A CLUE-but don't blame me if you're disappointed when the story is over. -

Oh Yummy!
As far as romance goes, this book ranks pretty darn high. Cooper and Breanne were HOT together. I suggest this book for a quick, fun read and cold shower material.

Oh, this was good!
Nothing like a honeymoon without a groom! But, having been left at the altar, Breanne decides to go on her honeymoon by herself. Hey, it¿s paid for. Unfortunately, she has a terrible flight and her luggage is lost. Then she ends up snowed in, at a mountain lodge, with no power and a burnt-out cop who says he gets the only available room, the honeymoon suite, because he was there first! Things go from bad to worse when Breanne stumbles over a dead body who seems to be one of the wacky staff! This book was so funny! I didn¿t see the end coming at all. It was very unique. Breanne¿s journal entries were so great I copied a lot of them for future reference. EX: ¿My life would be much more amusing if it was only happening to someone else. ¿My only question is, if there was no power how were they constantly taking hot showers? Even if there were gas hot water heaters you have to have power to pump the water. Same thing with the toilets, you have to have power to pump the water. But, I guess that¿s why they call it fiction!

A FUN Read!
Breanne Mooreland has been dumped at the alter and since the scum sucking groom has already paid for the honeymoon, Breanne decides to go to get away from the embarrassment the whole situation has caused. When she arrives at the mountain resort home in the middle of a blizzard, she's introduced to a naked showering guy who's already staked a claim to the honeymoon suite. Cooper Scott needed to get away for awhile and what better place than a secluded mountain? Not long after their arrival, a dead body is found. Now Bree and Cooper are in a house surrounded by 4 other people -- and one of them must be the murderer! This story had me laughing almost constantly, but in true JS form, a scene here and there would make me have that 'emotional tug' that just made me sigh. Cooper and Bree are like oil and water -- at least at first -- and watching them dance around each other was fun. I was rooting for all the couples in the house and the closer I came to the ending, the more I didn't want there to be a resolution! But -- I loved it! I'm putting it on my 'this is what I aspire to' shelf, because really, I just love the way JS writes! Shelly @ dramedyoflife.blogspot.com

Great book from JILL SHALVIS as always!!!!!
'GET A CLUE' has it all comedy, romance, mystery. I got this book and was unable to put it down. Right from the start it keeps you interested, I read it in one night. You can never go wrong when you pick up a book from JILL SHALVIS every book from here is as good as the next. If this is the first book you have picked up by Jill Shalvis be sure and read her other books as you won't be disappointed. I will definitely be recommending this book to my customers, friends and family. AND YOU THINK YOU¿VE HAD A BAD DAY!!! All in one day, city girl Breanna Mooreland gets left at the altar, takes the flight from hell to her honeymoon¿alone¿loses her luggage, and ends up snowed in at a Sierra mountains lodge run by the kookiest staff this side of the Addams Family. Oh, and there just happens to be a gorgeous naked man taking a shower in her suite who says he isn¿t going anywhere. Sheriff Cooper Scott is a burned out cop in serious need of this vacation, his brother told his to get his act together and he¿s not about to give up the only available room during a bad snowstorm just because an upset, okay, make that INSANE, woman is having a conniption fit. They¿ll just have to make the best of it¿her side of the bed versus his. But when Cooper wakes up kissing the long, leggy Breanna, he has other thoughts. Part of him wants to prove that not all men are scum, and another part of him entirely wants to show her exactly what that honeymoon suite is intended for. But that will have to wait, because a screaming Bria has just stumbled on a very dead body. So much for vacation¿

Great fun
Things were not going according to plan when Breanne Mooreland arrives at her honeymoon destination soaked to the skin, chilled to the bone, minus her luggage, and very much alone, since she had just been left at the alter. At least she thought she was alone, until she walks in on a naked man in her honeymoon suite. Cooper Scott, who needed some time away from his job as a cop, also thought he was alone. Imagine his surprise at being ogled by a woman wielding a dayglo pink vibrator. This was the first surprise of many for the two of them. Continuing surprises include a blinding snowstorm that simply would not let up, a most unusual staff that is determined to accommodate them despite a power failure from the storm, and Cooper and Breanne fighting a losing battle against the undeniable attraction that is pulling them together. After a dead body is discovered in the wine cellar and Cooper's law enforcement training takes over, he is determined to keep Breanne safe, not knowing who can be trusted. Cooper and Breanne are absolutely adorable and the cast of secondary characters in this book is pure fun. Jill Shalvis never fails to deliver romance with a laugh, a tug at the heartstrings, and a wonderful dose of steamy romance. Add to that a touch of mystery that adds just the right touch. Get A Clue is food for the romantic soul.

Get a Clue - Get the Book
If this were a 10 star scale, ¿Get a Clue¿ would rate a 9. Why not a 10? Well, one must live in hopes that the impossible will happen and Jill Shalvis will outshine this book, but I don¿t really believe it is possible. I have read romances for over 30 years and I can honestly say this is one of the best that I¿ve ever read, and it is definitely the best of Shalvis¿ work. If you like the laugh-out-loud romance of Jennifer Crusie then you¿ll love ¿Get a Clue¿. Breanne Mooreland isn¿t having a great day. Dumped twice before, this third time she faced the ultimate humility of being left at the altar. The honeymoon trip is paid for on his dime, so she decides to go it alone, looses her luggage and arrives at a romantic hide-away in the Sierra¿s in the middle of a raging snowstorm. Abandoned by the taxi driver, she enters a dark and seemingly empty house, finds her way to the honeymoon suite (and a basket full of ¿sensual¿ goodies) and discovers a naked man in her shower. Add to that the sexual tingles this ¿I hate men¿ heroine feels every time she sees Cooper, and Breanne is one unhappy female. Cooper Scott came off a bad undercover case and quit the force. His brother paid for a weekend for the burned-out cop at an isolated lodge and Cooper had visions of skiing and snow bunnies, not a hysterical woman, a glow-in-the-dark pink vibrator, a dead body and four staff members that would make anyone¿s ¿usual suspects¿ list. He definitely was not ready for the feelings Breanne stirred in him. The storm is so bad that no one is leaving, the generator is out, plunging them all in the dark, and, with a twist of hilarious mishaps, Cooper and Breanne end up sharing a bed. Jill Shalvis has always had the ability to make memorable secondary characters and this is no exception. The mysterious ghetto butler Dante, the wide-eyed Shelly, Lariana the sultry housekeeper who cleans house in high-heeled shoes, and Patrick, the Scottish fix-it man are no exceptions. They are as alive in print as Breanne and Cooper. The laughter and sexual sparks fly in this uproarious nod at Agatha Christie¿s ¿Ten Little Indians¿. While Jill Shalvis is known for the humor in her books, she lets it loose in this one and the results are a readers dream.

'GET A CLUE is witty and humorous, intriguing and suspenseful, with plenty of steam and sizzle. I thoroughly enjoyed the diverse group of characters who run the mansion and the skillful way they were integrated into the story. Even in the midst of a blizzard, the setting in the Sierras is absolutely beautiful. There¿s plenty to enjoy but the relationship between Breanne and Cooper is what I like best. Each has an abundance of reasons to mistrust the opposite sex and I loved watching them confront their issues and deal with the undeniable attraction between them. If you're looking for a fast-paced read with just the right balance of steam, humor, suspense, intrigue and surprises, don't miss GET A CLUE!'

terrific police procedural romantic suspense
Irate that her fiancé Dean left her at the altar, Breanne Mooreland goes on their honeymoon anyway so that she can run up charges on the rat¿s credit card. She takes her vibrator with her knowing that gave her more thrills than Dean ever did. The trek in a snow storm to the cabin in the Sierras is hellish, but she makes it to her destination only to find a naked stud in her shower. --- San Francisco battle fatigued police vice squad detective Cooper Scott picks up the vibrator that the woman who ruined his shower dropped. He needs this vacation so he refuses to allow an angry beautiful woman spoil his time off. Besides with the storm there is no other lodging available. They split the bed in half during the night both dreams of hot sex with the other. As he tries to prove he is a nice guy who wants sex with her, Breanne trips over a corpse. Snowbound, Cooper investigates wondering who amongst the zany staff is a killer although he prefers to investigate the body of his roommate. --- GET A CLUE is a terrific police procedural romantic suspense as Cooper works the homicide as best he can in accordance with procedures. The romance between the recently burned Breanne and the burned out Cooper is deftly handled as he struggles to get her to believe he will not just leave (not that he can with the weather) once they have sex. The eccentric support cast seems like escapees from a loony farm, but in a wacky way enhance the two subplots. If they do not know already, fans will GET A CLUE that Jill Shalvis is a talented writer. --- Harriet Klausner

Great Hero, Great Story, Amazing Book
Breanne Mooreland is having a bad day. First, she¿s stood up at the altar. Then, her luggage is lost. After finding herself snowed in, she also discovers a man showering in her suite. Although the showering man is gorgeous, Breanne decides he¿s off limits. Her new motto: no more men. Cooper Scott, the gorgeous naked man, is startled when a woman bursts in on his suite. Cooper arranged to stay at the vacation house to get away and make some decisions about his life. However, that¿s before a dead body is found on the premises. Get a Clue is a fantastic story. The characters are terrific, the chemistry excellent, and the mystery interesting. Cooper is one of the best heroes I¿ve seen this year. Although he quit working as a cop because of burnout, he is anything but a cliché. He is funny, protective, and focused. He takes charge of the investigation, and once he realizes what a great thing he has with Breanne, he is not afraid to open his heart. If you enjoy hot romance mixed with fun dialogue, you'll love this book.
