Sweet and innocent with a twist of girl-next-door, Cadence Jones is not your typical girl and certainly not your typical FBI agent. Just ask her sisters, Shiro and Adrienne. (Wait. . .best if you donโt ask Adrienne anything.) But itโs her special โtalentโ which makes Cadence so valuable to the FBI and it never comes in more handy than when she and her partner, George, get tagged to bring down the Threefer Killer. A serial killer who inexplicably likes to kill in threes, leave behind inexplicable newspaper clippings, and not one shred of decent forensic evidence, soon starts leaving messages that seem to be just for Cadence and her sisters. Could it be that this killer knows all about Cadenceโs special โtalentโ? In the meantime, love blooms in the most unexpected place when Cadence meets her best friendโs gorgeous brother who is in town visitingโand she discovers that he knows her secret too! When attraction burns hot between them her best friend isnโt thrilled with the romantic development and this time Cadence just might agree!
From New York Times bestselling author MaryJanice Davidson comes an outrageously funny novel about a highly unconventional FBI agent, a rather odd serial killer, a best friend on the edge, a gorgeous baker. . .and oh, yeah, love.
Suddenly Cadence finds her unbalanced life turned even more upside down as she tries to date a baker who wants to get in her heart and in her bed, dodge a pesky psychiatrist, keep a leash on her sociopath partner, while trying to catch a serial killer whoโs now fixated on her.
Some days itโs not even worth getting up in the morning. . .
From Publishers Weekly
Davidson's odd chick lit thriller cozy, the first in a trilogy introducing Cadence Jones, a federal agent afflicted with MPD (multiple personality disorder), will either delight or horrify. To begin, one must buy into the concept that the FBI would have a covert branch in Minneapolis, the Bureau of False Flags Ops (BOFFO), staffed with operatives like Jones; her sociopathic partner, George Pinkham; and assorted pyromaniacs, kleptomaniacs, and paranoid psychotics. Jones's joking about the various mental challenges of her crew may strike some as creepy in the context of their hunt for the "ThreeFer" serial killer. Meanwhile, Jones's alternating identities hop in and out during the disjointed investigation, creating romantic problems. Davidson (Undead and Unfinished) deserves credit for attempting black comedy, but her paranormal romance fans may be left scratching their heads. 100,000 first printing; author tour.

From Booklist
Cadence Jones is a member of BOFFO, a division of the FBI that employs the unique talents of psychopaths, multiple personalities, agoraphobes, and other seriously disturbed individuals in fighting crime. Cadence is one of three sisters who share the same body. A virgin, she never swears and is a little on the syrupy-sweet side, but BOFFO does get three agents for the price of one because her sister Shiro, a martial-arts expert, and her sister Adrienne, a total wild woman, live within her and come out when needed. While working on the โThreeferโ case in which a serial killer artfully stages trios of victims in obvious locations, Cadence comes to believe the murders are a message to her, even as she thinks she may have found romance with her BFFโs baker brother. Davidson is in fine form with the over-the-top humor and outrageous situations that have made her a best-seller. Best of all, this is a fresh new story with nary a vampire or werewolf. --Diana Tixier Herald
