Review: Armed and Fabulous - Camilla Chafer



Armed and Fabulous (Lexi Graves Mystery, #1)

Review: Armed and Fabulous - Book #1 Lexi Graves Mysteries Series - Camilla Chafer - May 2012

Coming from a family of cops, you would have thought that possibly Lexi Graves would have gone into the law field as her brothers are policemen, her dad now a retired cop and her sister is a lawyer and ready to make partner. Whereas Lexi is happily working away as a temp in an office where she can play "dumb" and not have to think too much. Her latest job is working as a temp at Green Hand Insurance agency, typing up reports for the VP Martin Dean and trying to avoid the eyes of her boss Adam who BTW is a hunk. One night , she heads in to drop the report when she discovers Martin is dead and next thing she knows she is being pulled into the closet with a hand over her mouth. Turns out that some dodgy dealings have been happening at Green Hand Insurance and that Adam is in fact an Undercover agent and Lexi has now stumbled into a murder mystery.  Think Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum and her sidekick Lulu and you have Camilla Chafer's Lexi Graves and her roomie Lily as they try and solve the murder themselves. Instead of Ranger and Joe Morelli , you have Adam and Solomon - Adam is like the Joe Morelli and Solomon is like Ranger and of course , they both want a bit of Lexi and there is chemistry between Lexi and both guys. Can Lexi help the police force to find the killer before she is next as some strange and odd gifts have been piling up on her doorstep and car windscreen.
If you love romantic comedies and humourous spy stories like Stephanie Plum and Charley Davidson , then you will love Camilla Chafer's character Lexi Graves.
To finish off, one of my favourite book quotes:

Cagney and Lacey serious ?
Deadly serious
Castle and Beckett serious ?
Castle and Beckett serious 
Why do I have to be Castle. I want Beckett
Hey. Castle is Sexy and I'm Beckett.
Rizzoli and Isles ?
They are two kick ass women who solve crime and don't need a man.
