Written in her "trademark darkly sensual style" ( Booklist ), New York Times bestselling author Linda Howard brings us an electrifying page-turner of passion and suspense with a captivating premise... What would make the perfect man? That's the delicious topic that heats up the proceedings at a certain table of professional women at their favorite restaurant. What qualities would he have? Would he be tall, dark, and handsome? Caring and warmhearted--or would just muscular do? Jaine Bright and her three girlfriends start off with the basics: he'd be faithful and reliable, the responsible type, and have a great sense of humor. But as the conversation picks up momentum, so do the quartet's requirements for Mr. Perfect as and they write down a tongue-in-cheek checklist that's both funny and racy. The next thing they know, the List, as it has come to be called, becomes an overnight sensation, spreading through their company like wildfire and grabbing the interest of local newspapers and television coverage. No one expected this avalanche of attention for something that began as a joke among friends. But the joke turns deadly serious when one of the four women is murdered... The prime suspect in the case is the victim's boyfriend, who was one of a number of men who found the List sexist and offensive. An impenetrable alibi gets him off the hook, but a deadly stalker targets the three remaining friends. Now, with the help of Jaine's neighbor, an unpredictable police detective, the puzzle must be solved as the dream of Mr. Perfect becomes a chilling nightmare.

Hard to encompass several life/love stories in one short narrative. Done remarkably well, considering 4 women's love lives needed background and definition. In addition, to fill enough of the hero (Sam's) story to make it believable. An unfolding without rush that still manages to tell ALL the stories completely. I highly recommend.

Who is Mr Perfect
Does Mr Perfect refer to Good Neighbor Sam, the hunky next-door neighbor/cop/boyfriend or does it refer to the psycho killer going after the four co-workers whose joking list of desirable attributes triggers feelings of inadequacy? Very clever repartee throughout adds fun to the thriller plot. Personally, I enjoy books more when I actually like the characters, and that is certainly the case here. Hope you enjoy it as much as I.
