From Publishers Weekly
With more than 25 contemporary romances (Automatic Proposal, etc.) under the pen name Kelsey Roberts, Pollero makes her frivolous but fun mystery debut featuring Finley Anderson Tanner (F.A.T.), a 29-year-old West Palm Beach paralegal whose designer name-dropping prattle and discount shopaholism unusual her smarts. Bored silly by her job in the estates and trusts department, she agrees to help a senior partner handle a client convinced that her deceased husband didn't fall asleep at the wheel but was actually murdered. Finley's sweet but boring boyfriend is out of town, and her credit cards are maxed out, so she applies her bargain-hunting instincts to the investigation and finds a statistical improbability in the "accidental" deaths of several jurors after a medical malpractice suit. She meets the obligatory terrible boy detective, Liam McGarrity, and wriggles out of several tight spots in this lighthearted romp. (Mar.)

From Booklist
When it comes to putting together a killer couture wardrobe on a tight budget, paralegal Finley Anderson Tanner knows exactly what she is doing. When it comes to catching a clever killer, Finley doesn't have a clue. But Finley's boss insists that she meet with Stacy Evans, who is convinced her husband Marcus' death was no accident. At first, Finley thinks the widow is just having a difficult time adapting to loss, but she discovers that not only was Marcus a juror on a high-profile medical-malpractice trial but also that several other of the jurors have recently died in "accidents." Pollero fashions the first volume in a stylishly entertaining new amateur sleuth series that is certain to be a runway hit with mystery readers who like a dash of chick-lit sass and a pinch of romance with their detecting.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Knock Off (Finley Anderson Tanner Mysteries) (Hardcover) Finley Tanner is a paralegal reluctantly investigating the death of Stacy Evans' husband Marcus. As Finley goes through the motions of the case she stumbles upon some interesting and disturbing information that lead Finley to believe that there may be more going on than she thought, so she hires detective Liam McGarrity to help investigate the case. Although Finley's boyfriend Patrick seems picture perfect, there are no fireworks between them. Whenever she is with Liam though, the sparks fly! While Finley struggles with her feeling for both men, she is getting closer to solving the case and danger is trailing behind her. Knock Off is a very suspenseful and fun story. Finley is a blast, Patrick is sweet and Liam is mysterious and sexy. Knock Off is a very good story with more mystery than romance in it. It also has an open ending. Hopefully in the next book Finley will take us on another adventure and choose her Mr. Right! Nannette Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed Comment | | (Report this)
