Teddi Bayer story is an all too fictional, but oh-so-real story! Her parents aren't perfect. Actually her mother June is craziest than she wants to make everyone believe she is, this proved by the fact that she actually shot Rio (Teddi's ex) a year ago. Her father is a sweet but obssessed man that for some inexplicable reason loves her mother. Her soon-to-be ex-husband Rio Gallo, is an idiot that actually tried to make her crazy just so he could make himself with a few bucks, plus he was two-timing her at he same time, with a really close clon of her 12 years ago (Who Makes Up These Rules, Anyway). She has 3 beautiful kids: Dana, Jesse, and Alyssa and a decorating bussiness with her best friend Bobbie.

Eveything seems to go great... She actually got her first major client! Elise Meyers.... which she finds dead on the kitchen floor she was redecorating dressed in a black and pink teddy.

But, nothing's to worry because in comes the Hot sexy detective, Andrew Scoones, that's good enough to eat (ironic, no?) who's putting something terribly precious for her at risk.... Her already broken-heart.



This is a great novel. It's funny, and exciting. But to tell you the truth if I were you just for reading about Drew I'll by this and everything that comes along.

Hope I could help. Ciao.

Rio Gallo tried to persuade everyone that his wife Teddi was certifiable crazy and dangerous; he went to great lengths to prove his case until she actually shot him (see the wild WHO MAKES UP THESE RULES, ANYWAY?). Nearly divorced from Rio and now using her maiden name Bayer, terrible Teddi is trying to earn a living as an interior decorater while raising her children.

She even has a wealthy client except for the fact that when she meets her she finds her dead. Nassau County Police Department Detective Andrew Scoones heads the investigation with Teddi assuming that she and her business partner are on the short suspect list as the cop keeps visiting her; for that matter he never bothers with her partner. Though she argues to herself why would the cops consider them as murderers, as they lack a motive especially since killing a client is not good for obtaining customer loyalty. Still Andrew seems to be around a lot.

The second Teddi rules tale is a fun amateur sleuth police procedural tale in which the audience wonders along side the heroine whether Andrew will kiss her or arrest her. The action-packed story line, like the previous one, is centered on Teddi whose antics make for an amusing yet somewhat serious read. Fans will want more terrific Teddi tales.

Teddi Bayer is the kind of woman you want to have as a friend - the funny, zany, sometimes kind of scary friend we can't help but love. Decorating, murder, a little romance - What Goes With Blood Red, Anyway? has everything. Before you open this book, make sure you've got plenty of time, because you're not going to want to put it down.
