Today I started, and am abandoning, "Louisiana Longshot
A Miss Fortune Mystery, Book 1" by Jana DeLeon.
While I generally prefer my crime and thriller books to be well researched and realistic, I am happy to suspend disbelief for a good story, and I do enjoy a good cozy. But this book is the reason why we have sexist and chauvinistic preconceptions about chick lit. The main character isn't just unrealistic and unbelievable, she is a caricature of unrealistic and unbelievable, like what a naive child might fantasize such a character was like.
